Return to Medicare Supplement

With the dawn of a new administration, Medicare Insurance plans (aka Medicare Advantage) may fall under close scrutiny in the months and years to come. There are many industry insiders who are speculating that the highly subsidized plans may be cut or even cut off. It is hard for me to imagine that the new administration would leave millions of Medicare Beneficiaries without adequate coverage, but the indicators are, there may indeed be additional cost sharing.

If this happens, it could actually be a boon to traditional Medicare Supplement companies and marketing organizations. If people are forced to carry more of the cost for MA (usually also with many restrictions), many may simply choose to return to Medigap coverage.

Motion is Better Than Meditation

Ask yourself, who is crazier…

The person who tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and succeeds!

Or:

The person who tries and fails and accepts failure as a way of life?

Look up at the light bulb above you. I bet you take it for granted. Do you know how many experiments Thomas Edison conducted before he got that crazy thing to work? Thousands upon thousands. In fact, Edison said in commenting about all of those failed experiments:

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”

Gary Halbert (a famous marketing genius no longer with us) used to say: “Motion (actually doing something) if far better than meditation (just thinking about doing something).”
