Demystifying Medicare for Beginners

Medicare is health insurance for U.S. citizens that are ages 65 and older. Eligibility may be available before the age of 65 for those with a disability, End-Stage Renal Disease, or ALS (also called Lou Gehrig’s disease). 

In 2023, more than 65 million Americans depended on Medicare, a number that is rising in tandem with the aging population, according to the AARP.

On today's episode, we break Medicare down to the basics, and cover all of the topics that seem tailor-made to confuse:

• The different parts of Medicare and what they cover
• High earners vs. low earners
• Working past the age of 65
• What happens when you travel or move
• Lifetime penalties and how to avoid them
