First time I have ever given any thought or listened to audio books (I know, weird, right?) I am disabled and have always had concerns and questions about medicare or social security for my future and what it all entails ~ A, Part B, Part C and Part D were broken down to where I could easily relate to and/or understand and this is not only important for me, but for any American that has elderly people they are taking care of, disability and welfare day to day issues ~ Once you get into the position on needing and applying, this audio helps you understand what you will be dealing with and not only will it help related issues, it will save you money and so much running around.I feel this was well detailed, but admittedly I fell asleep twice because it's over three hours long lol~ No biggie though, I just went back and searched where I lost myself and continued listening at my convenience. I will keep going back to it once in a while and get more information I may have overlooked and situations that may have occurred and changed throughout my life and progression of my illness~ I receive a book yearly and even though it's nicely written, you cannot compare listening to audio and be able to comprehend in detail important and valid information that is valuable to you, your family, and well being.Very powerful information and less expensive in the long run if you need valid information for your life~If my review review was helpful to you, please click on the YES button, por favore!This will help others as I hope it helped you! It will also be so much easier for others to find the review and that may help them too~Many thanks!Be well. Be happy! Take care of you! Thank you so much for reading my review!
As a 60 year old "Baby Boomer" who recently started to receive Social Security survivor benefits (widow), I found this book timely. I am also confronting challenges with parents — my mom and mother-In-law are aging and we have begun to navigate the confusing vocabulary and rules of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and health insurance.Less than ten years ago, my corporate job was downsized and the significant "savings" my husband and I accumulated for retirement was wiped out when he died. Since then, I had difficulty gaining steady employment; and in 2015 I received a breast cancer diagnosis. Such are the problems we encounter if we have the privilege of a long life.Thus the clear and concise approach to these books and the subject matter is of great concern to me, but they will also be helpful for people starting out in their career and planning for the future.The Medicare book has clearly defined chapters that allow you to scan and read as you choose. This is extremely helpful because it is such a technical topic.Strategies are emphasized such as how to decide to stick with original Medicare or choose a Medicare Advantage plan. The writers also explain nuances and details such as benefit periods and lifetime reserve days related to the hospital stay coverage.In the Social Security Book, the chapters again were well defined and easy to navigate. The writers stress decisions that may impact the quality of life for retirees and use examples to illustrate possible scenarios for common situations (retiree with corporate 401 K, early retirement for couples vs. suspending payments), etc.
