You are so right and especially re many without computers to compare plans.<br />The Greatest Generation folks being strongly independent don't ask for help so much. So they have the hardest time of all.<br />And the insurance plans & non-plans as I call them along with scams, are laden with confusing new language even insurance folks go, "HUH?"<br />Then add the almost complete but not yet decisions/non-decisions in Repub States only adds to the confusion right now! and it takes forever to get answers, if you are able to get them at all! That is overwhelming for many of us!<br />Best advice I've heard is to start early if you plan to retire soon. And if you're of the Great Gen there are Social Workers in a lot of communities who will help!!!<br />I prefer Social Workers who are not affiliated with a company but work for the elderly via government or non-profit Doctor's offices are also overwhelmed with all the changes so even your good Dr. wanting to help is a bit time consuming since they deal with many! Missouri is sending so many forms with ever changing things in even qualifications that it's been almost a 2 year un-won battle for my 90 year old mom.<br />It's like "Do not pass go - Do not collect $20!" Crazy stuff!!!<br /><br /><br />Thank you Missus Powell - I feel for you!<br />Best of luck and keep smiling!Reschzoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554054134794211702noreply@blogger.com
