Helping those on Medicare understand their benefits

pic
Book Release:

There are over 48 million Americans on Medicare and less than 25% understand their benefits.  Too many people believe that Medicare is the same as insurance.  They are very wrong.  An example would be the Medicare Part A deductible - Not once a year but up to six times a year.  ($1024. x 6 = $6144.00)

After reading the “Medicare Survival Guide” the consumer will have a better understanding of Medicare.  They will know when and how to enroll.  They will also understand what the donut hole is, how to avoid it and how to get out of it.  The reader will also learn how to maximize their Medicare dollar. 

Our book is written simple, easy to understand language for the average consumer.  Key points are repeatedly stressed so that the reader comes away with a good understanding of the issues.  It is totally consumer focused and not affiliated with any government agency or third party provider.  Our goal is to give the consumer the tools he or she needs to make well informed decisions about their healthcare that can have a great impact on their financial well being.

We are self published, independent.  We are two moms that saw a need.  We became frustrated because the average person didn’t understand Medicare.  Worse than that they were paying costly penalites and expensive deductibles that could easily have been avoided.

Toni and I are an Oprah moment.  We both have over 20 years in the healthcare and insurance industry.  We met at a health fair in Cleveland, MS.  Turns out we were had both recently moved to Cleveland from Texas.  We lived several blocks apart but never met until January 2008.  We said someone needed to write a simple guide.  A few days later we decided that someone was us.  The project took about 60 days.

Please contact us!!  Visit our website http://www.medicaresurvivalguide.com and learn how to stay out of the donut hole.  Join the Medicare Survival Army!  Thank you for your time.

Recreational Catch Limits Debate

We need your support on February 7th…

To: All our elected OFFICALS,

We need your help, on February 7,2008 the Florida Wildlife Commission (FWC) plans to hold a meeting in Panama City Beach, Fl to discuss the Recreational Red Snapper Limits and closures. The Feds have already cut the Recreational limits to two fish per person, per day.  This limit excludes the captain and crew, not allowing them to keep any. I understand the State of Florida wanting to drop the daily bag limit to two fish per day, the same as the Feds, because of the enforcement problems. We can live with that, what we can’t live with however is the proposed changes in the season.  From April 15th to October 31st is the current season, but changing it to June 1st through September 30th will cause us to lose over two months of our season. With the slow economy and rising fuel prices, shorting the season may force some of us out of our livelihood.

Florida wants tourist to come, and many come here to fish.  If the FWC has their way many of my customers have already told me they will not come to Florida to fish, they will go elsewhere. I know there are more and more people who are selling their boats at the marina (Scipio Creek Marina in Apalachicola, Fl) and leaving to do things in other states.

I am sending this letter to every elected official in the state.  In November, we will elect a new President.  I know each party; Democrats and Republicans alike want us to vote for their candidate. We want to see if someone out there is concerned about us, and are willing to stand up for us, and with us. If we can find someone that will help us, then we in turn are more than willing to support and help them.

I am a 60-year-old native of Florida, a Vietnam Veteran, and husband of 40 years to the same lovely lady.  I have two children (both Florida residents) who are hard workers and support themselves, as my wife and I do. I have never been in jail or any trouble with the law. Frankly though, I am fed up with the government wanting more and more.  We are the ones, who pay taxes and keep the country running, but you want to enact laws and restrictions that put us out of business, but give a hand out to the people that won’t work in this country. Your dang right I’m mad, it’s hard enough to make a living with all the things we face, we don’t need additional laws prohibiting us from making an honest living.  Is there anyone out there that cares?

Sincerely,
William C Wilson

CC: Governor, Charlie Christ & all Florida lawmakers
