  • Ep. 914 - 2% rate increase for my client with High Deductible Plan G: EVERYONE WINS!
    Feb 18 2026

    MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MINUTE! THE NINE BIGGEST DISADVANTAGES TO MEDICARE ADVANTAGE!

    I want to do a good job for my clients. Some companies make that easier than others. One of them is an absolute standout, in spite of not always maintaining rate stability with Plan G premium increases.

    An insurance broker in Atlanta is worried about my diminished income. Agents make smaller sales commissions when they sell low-cost products like HDG.

    Finally, I quiz Randy on which states are projected to be best and worst for retirement this year.

    MEDICARE ADVANTAGE MINUTE! KAISER'S $556 MILLION MEDICARE ADVANTAGE WHISTLEBLOWER LAWSUIT

    HIPPA privacy be damned; one of my doctor bills started at $265 but after going through Medicare and my High Deductible Plan G, the bill magically became $17!

    Life expectancy in the USA has set a new record.

    We list the top 10 causes of death.

    Then we list the Medicare supplement rate increase filings from several insurance companies in several states. Bottom line: Medical inflation is exerting upward pressure on insurance costs.
