On today’s episode of the Retire Sooner podcast, Wes welcomes back Mary Beth Franklin. This time, she takes on the herculean task of simplifying Medicare. They get into the differences between Medicare A, B, C, D, Advantage Plans, Gap Plans, and Supplemental Coverage. Mary Beth lays out which options might suit which people, depending on their lifestyles. She flags when it could be ideal to pay for the more expensive plan and when the cheaper selection could suffice. She gets into the weeds on age, tax requirements, and how to avoid penalties. She tells Wes what Medicare looks like for American citizens living abroad, sets the record straight on Medicare vs. Medicaid, and explains why paying FICA payroll taxes all those years doesn’t make your retirement coverage free. As always, Mary Beth keeps Wes on his toes. Listen and find out why.
