When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik.

The story on the state of the Canadian system made reference to one Greg Price. He was a 31 year-old pilot from Alberta who was allowed to die in 2018 from testicular cancer due to the ineptitude inherent in their single payer Communist health system.

Take a peek back in the crystal ball at AEP 2024. Pundits predicted turmoil and they were right!

In the new book "Your Medicare Benefits, we read about alcohol misuse evaluations.

In a related story, I describe an encounter with an Arizona doctor who has a blind spot where one particular affliction is concerned.

One would-be client wonders if he has missed the fall "open enrollment" deadline or can he still purchase a Part D drug plan.

Thanks to my scientific search process, a client is able to purchase a drug plan that will be completely free of charge all year as opposed to the more expensive plans with which a less dedicated agent might have stuck her.

The shocking headline in our Medicare Advantage minute: Problems with MA plans keep mounting! Denial of service and slow care approvals seem to be used as methods of profit maximization. The "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" segment takes a deep dive into the specifics of how Medicare covers "commode chairs". Finally, when the IRS tries to extract the IRMAA success penalty from Mark, his reduced retirement income allows him to successfully employ the weapon I suggested he use against them.

In the Medicare Advantage Minute, we hear again about all of the negative changes coming to MA plans in 2025. The "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" segment describes the requirements one must meet in order to be colonoscopized on Medicare's dime. I think there is some wiggle room there. New client Tim writes to say that he is convinced that High Deductible Plan G (HDG) is the best choice for him. However, he wants to know how cautious and conservative he should be when selecting his Medicare supplement insurance company.

In our Medicare Advantage Minute, we learn that ten companies are exiting MA markets in 2025. Do you need cognitive assessment? Some say that I do! Read all about how Medicare will pay for that plus care plan services. Finally, I use perplexity AI to provide information to prospects who are considering the purchase of dental & vision insurance.

Part of the cautionary tale about thalidomide illustrates the fact that Medicare alone is often not enough to persuade doctors to perform non-emergency treatment. In the Medicare Advantage Minute, we learn that: "The Great Disruption is coming for Medicare Advantage"! In "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" we take a brief look at Cognitive Assessment and Care Plan Services. If you have failed to enroll in Part B of Medicare, the General Enrollment period can bail you out. We enumerate the three big reasons people may end up in that predicament. Finally, we list six common, everyday things we all grew up with that appear to be disappearing.

In the Medicare Advantage Minute we learn that algorithms used by the big 3 MA companies automatically reject 1 in 4 requests for post-acute care. Your Medicare Benefits 2024 teaches us how the program is likely to cover Chronic Care Management Services, in case you ever need them. In answers to questions from Randy, I explain that the Part D drug plan online enrollment process has been improved to allow me to enroll my clients. On the other hand, in order to select the "best" plan I must be able to predict the needs of the client will face in the coming year. Otherwise, my recommendation is just a worthless crap shoot. Finally I review the changes in drug plans in 2025, list the three benefit stages of a drug plans and list just a few of the problems one might experience with a Medicare Advantage plan.

Enjoy the fascinating story of how the geniuses at Medicare failed to figure out that Medicare Advantage plans have been dodging the claims of their members who also receive treatment at the VA! In "Your Medicare Benefits 2024", we learn how Medicare pays for Children's Kidney Disease and Chiropractic Services. Doug's wife has been a happy client with High Deductible Plan G and now his 65th birthday is approaching and he wants in on the fun!

Program note: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! This episode was recorded after I endured the "Fungus Among Us" but is presented out of order. References to my disease should be ignored. The "Peoples' Action Network" sounds like the Symbionese Liberation Army. On at least one day last summer they expressed interest in making a health insurance company more accountable to its customers. In Your Medicare Benefits 2024, we learn how Medicare will help you if you have more than one serious medical condition and need expert assistance. Finally, Jeffrey, who says he is a big fan, writes to ask for guidance in coordinating retirement dates, enrollment dates, effective dates and HSA deposits for him and his Mrs. Contact me at: DBJ@MLMMailbag.com (Most severe critic: A+) Visit us on: BabyBoomer.ORG Inspired by: "MEDICARE FOR THE LAZY MAN 2024; Simplest & Easiest Guide Ever!" on Amazon.com.

According to "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" Medicare will pay to have your cataracts burned off those baby-blues! You might have some decisions to make, though. United Healthcare lost another of their in-network hospital chains in six states: Trinity Hospitals. Finally, a fan of MLM named Lola wrote in with a perplexing question: She is on Medicaid and will soon turn 65. Can she ignore Medicare? Turns out, Perplexity AI said no, she can't. The good news is that after she enrolls in Medicare, Medicaid may step up to pay the Part B premium for a "dual eligible" like Lola. Last I heard, she was heading for the phone to confirm this with her Medicaid caseworker!

In the Medicare Advantage Minute, a hospital chain based in Huntsville, AL and environs parts company with United Healthcare, leaving many former members in the lurch.

United Healthcare sues the Feds due to a reduction in star ratings. This trouble started with a single marketing call that went south; probably a secret shopper. Learn how Medicare would cover cardiovascular counseling and screenings. If your doc accepts Medicare reimbursement you will probably pay nothing for these procedures. A lengthy list of insurance company rate filings shows that we are still suffering the ill-effects of a long inflationary spiral. Finally, Steve's brother-in-law strongly suggested the purchase of "Medicare for the Lazy Man". While waiting for delivery he thought up some questions, the answers to which may help guide his next steps.

In the MLM Medicare Advantage Minute we address the following: "Insurers Brought In $50 Billion Through Questionable Diagnoses!" It's an old story that never seems to end; evidence is that MA plans are fabricating "proof" of the rotten health of many of their clients, thereby earning larger payments from the US Treasury! This is known as "Upcoding". In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" we take a look at Cardiac Rehab and how Medicare would cover that if your heart problems required serious medical intervention. Then we read a list of the top 20 hospitals in the US which have maintained pricing transparency. In my opinion, that is the last item on the mind of someone who requires hospitalization! Toni King fields a question: Should I purchase a Medicare supplement or Medicare Advantage plan? In the view of this reporter there is only one answer to that question. A client writes to ask what his Medicare supplement's next premium increase is likely to be and whether it would be time to do some shopping for a better price on a different plan, maybe using the Nevada Birthday rule? Finally, consider the likely increase characteristics with Plan G as opposed to High Deductible Plan G as the years pass.
