Original Medicare has a 20% gap with no cap

[00:00:06]Here's something I'm going to tell you about original Medicare. It only covers about 80% of your medical costs. The other 20%? That's on you. With no cap.

[00:00:15]So, if you have a serious illness or a long hospital stay, that 20% can be tens of thousands of dollars at least. And that's what a Medicare supplement covers. It fills in what Medicare leaves behind. Without it, you're one bad diagnosis away from a financial crisis on a fixed income. This is the conversation that no one's having with people turning 65. I'm having it. Follow me.
