Tell your parents: Trump is lying to them about Medicare

All right, this is what I do for a living.

First of all, Medicare Advantage isn’t for everybody - obviously. But it’s a terrific deal for my lower-income clients. Some plans have zero premium, with prescription coverage, which basic Medicare does not offer, and sometimes extras like dental and vision. In my opinion, the most important feature is the maximum out-of-pocket: with original Medicare, there isn’t one. The sky’s the limit.

On the other hand, that business about prior authorization being a “right?” Yea, that’s nonsense. Who wrote that? Not Trump himself, obviously, but I find it shocking to find such an obvious error in a government document. And it wasn’t there last year. Boo.
