Senior Health Insurance: No Longer for Seniors

Baby Boomers No Comments »

You may have heard it said that the new 65 is 55 and the new 55 is 45. This is absolutely true. If there is one thing hate to be called, it is “seniors.”

are tech savvy, active, healthy and expect (realistically) that they will be around a long time.

The vast majority of insurance professionals and other financial services types still don’t seem to get this. You frequently hear them speaking of their products as “senior products.”

If you work with Boomers and you want to advance your business, my advice is: change the way you think about this generation. The people you serve will appreciate you for it.

If you are turning 65 you can get a free, no obligation, and of course, no pressure quote from Medicare National. Just click the link above or the banner below now.

Medicare Advantage: Sharp Increases Ahead

medicare advantage No Comments »

The Associated Press: “Millions of seniors who signed up for popular private health plans through Medicare are facing sharp premium increases this year — another sign that spiraling costs are a problem even for those with solid insurance. A study to be released Friday … found that premiums for offering medical and prescription drug coverage jumped 14.2 percent on average in 2010, after an increase of only 5.2 percent the previous year. Some 8.5 million elderly and disabled Americans are in the plans, which provide more comprehensive coverage than traditional Medicare.” The study, done by Avalere Health, a data analysis firm, “found that the average monthly Medicare Advantage premium for 2010 is $39.61, representing an increase of nearly $5 a month from the previous year. That compares with a rise of less than $1.75 a month in 2009″ (Alonso-Zaldivar, 2/19).

This news only affects you of course if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. If you have a Medicare Supplement, it works alongside of Medicare, not instead of Medicare like Advantage plans.
