Why Prepare for Medicare?

Medicare changes all the time — and figuring it out can feel like a full-time job. That’s why I wrote Prepare for Medicare – The Insider’s Guide to Buying Medicare Insurance®. My goal was simple: help you quickly understand Medicare, narrow down your choices, and feel confident — whether you work with a Medicare insurance agent or handle it yourself.

I built PrepareforMedicare.com to keep that mission going. Here you’ll find insider knowledge, books, courses, checklists, and free tools designed to help you make the right Medicare choices, at the right time, the right way — always with your financial and healthcare needs front and center.

In my experience, it doesn’t matter how “smart” you are. From GED to Ph.D., Medicare is confusing and frustrating for almost everyone. Even my mom, a former professional educator, calls me every October stressed about her Annual Notice of Change. If she finds it painful, no wonder millions of other people do too.

That’s why I created the Prepare for Medicare Insider Method™ — to cut through the clutter, filter out the noise, and give you a clear path forward without a high-pressure sales pitch.
