Medicare complexity unraveled; Wisconsin Senior Medicare Patrol Program Director Ingrid Kundinger joins Jane for a discussion. She separates the essentials of traditional Medicare from privatized Medicare Advantage plans. While original Medicare offers broad coverage, it lacks certain benefits like vision and dental care, often necessitating supplemental policies. Medicare Advantage can fill these gaps but comes with its own pitfalls, like network restrictions and unexpected costs. With open enrollment in full swing, Kundinger warns of high-pressure sales tactics and emphasizes informed decision-making to avoid getting trapped in unsuitable plans.

With a surprise snow fall hitting parts of South Eastern Wisconsin, Jane and Calvin talk about their winter driving pet-peeves on today's Audio Sorbet!

Stay tuned till the end of the show for This Shouldn't Be A Thing.
