    From Toni King's column: Reader Don asks, "Why am I receiving a Part D penalty?"

    Correspondence from new listener (and soon to be client) Peter from Houston. He has concerns that cause me to address: various rating methodologies, the possibility of the "deductible" in High Deductible supplements to grow beyond reasonable limits and something else that induces me to send him a link to the HeyMoe drug plan selection program. With that he will earn a small discount and a valuable series of drug discount opportunities.

    Alert listener Steve in Texas entered a comment under a Medicare instructional video indicating "he wouldn't trust a broker who does not recommend supplement High Deductible Plan G". Another viewer opined that HDG is not available in all locations. Steve came to the right place to set him straight!

    Speaking of my favorite Medicare supplement plan, how have the HDG rate increases been lately?

  • Ep. 868 - I told you so!!! Big rate increases for Plan G, N but small or 0% for High Deductible Plan G!
    Oct 22 2025

    Medicare Advantage Minute: The government will allow plan changes due to inaccurate Medicare Advantage network directory listings.

    Your Medicare Benefits 2025: Radiation therapy

    Humana announcement details year-end Medicare supplement rate increases for supplement plans in several states. Exactly as predicted by this podcaster, High Deductible Plan G proves to be the best deal of all!

    Samples from the file containing the content curator's favorite category: Correspondence: Myrna asked about the cautionary statements on page 21 of "Medicare for the Lazy Man". The source of confusion had to do with the difference between Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts. Joe described "Medicare for the Lazy Man" as being very helpful but he still some reassurance after a "professional" advisor hired by his company made the assertion that "nobody buys High Deductible Plan G"! That guy gets paid more when people like Joe are forced to spend more.
