There are 11,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 everyday. Many of them share the same Medicare questions, like:
- Do I need to enroll at age 65?
- What if I work past age 65?
- What coverage is best for me?
- Should I get a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plan?
- What does Medicare cover?
- Does my income impact my premium? If so, how?
On this episode, Joe Allaria is joined by Medicare expert Joanne Giardini-Russell, CEO of Giardini Medicare, to touch on all of the above.
