Broadway Joe and JJ Walker are using their past fame and popularity to advertise as a paid sponsor for a Medicare benefits hotline.

Just to be clear: This is NOT Medicare the official government agency. This is just an advertisement and is not endorsed by Medicare. This is a company that is paying a famous person to endorse a product they do not use and do not understand how it works.

Is this plan to good to be true? For most people, the plan that the commercials are referring to is for those who are Medicare AND Medicaid eligible, so in most cases, yes this plan is too good to be true. Are there plans with some of the benefits mentioned; yes. Are these exact plans available everywhere? No, the plans vary from county to county across the United States. Are these plans a good fit for everyone? Absolutely not. Are they good for some people? Definitely.

The commercials are offering partial information and discussing what you want to hear but not what you need to know. A lot of the benefits they are mentioning are at the cost of over benefits that could be very much useful or necessary.

It is so important to talk to a local insurance agent who is familiar with what is available in your area. Listen to the podcast or watch the video below to learn what you need to know about what these plans are talking about.
