Medicare 101, in plain English.
One hour at a local library for anyone who wants to understand Medicare: approaching 65, planning retirement, helping a parent or spouse, supporting employees, or already enrolled and never given a straight explanation. How Medicare works, when to sign up, and the mistakes that cost people money. No plan pitches, no enrollment forms, no obligation.

The same plain-English walk-through at every date, so pick whichever one fits your calendar.
Medicare: the basics
What Parts A, B, C and D each cover, and how a Medicare Supplement fits alongside them.
What Medicare costs
The premiums, the deductibles, the income-related adjustments, and how enrollment actually happens.
Two main paths to coverage
Original Medicare with a supplement and a drug plan, or Medicare Advantage: how the two main approaches differ as categories, not as products.
Prescription drug coverage
Why Part D matters even if you take nothing today, and how the late-enrollment penalty works.
Your situation and your timeline
Still working, retiring soon, covered by a spouse, or already enrolled: what changes the dates that apply to you.
Common Medicare mistakes
The decisions people most often get wrong, and how to avoid each one. We leave time for your questions throughout.
This is an educational event. No plan-specific benefits, premiums or details will be discussed, and no enrollment forms will be available. Attendance is free and carries no obligation. There is no sales presentation.
