It’s a common misconception that Medicare costs nothing. While Part A (hospital insurance) is free for most people, other parts—Part B (medical services) and Part D (prescription drugs)—have premiums, deductibles, and copays. You may still face 20% coinsurance or out-of-pocket caps even after paying premiums
You’re not alone. Comparing fee structures, provider networks, prescription coverage, and eligibility rules—especially for Medicare Advantage vs. original Medicare plus Medigap—can feel impossible. We simplify that choice and match you with the plan aligned to your needs and expected healthcare usage

Some annuities include surrender periods where early withdrawals trigger penalties (often 5–10% annually, especially in early years) . You should understand liquidity rules clearly before choosing.
Safety depends on the financial strength of the insurer. Look for ratings like AM Best A‑ or better and make sure a state guaranty fund backs your contract up to mandated limits. We only work with financially stable providers
