48. In our area (Napa, CA), Aetna said they no longer provided. Mom called 'Chapter', & they hooked her up

Now (along with MediCAL), she has to pay practically zero, and Chapter found another company in our area for Part D. Mom said they were so helpful, patient, and she is so glad she called.

Chapter: Free Medicare Advice (not associated with any ins. companies)
(706) 312-8635

I saw an ad for this on Adam Mockler's youtube channel (I'm pretty sure it was his channel)

I gave the number to my cousin who turns 65 in Dec. My turn is next year and I'll be calling them too.
I hope this helps

(I'm not associated with Chapter, I just think it shouldn't be so very difficult for people to figure all this out. Who can you even trust any more?)

That explains $5 of increase, how about the rest? These plans do have a 85% medical loss ratio, meaning Silent Type Oct 15 #26

Wrong. Read it again. Trump's actions alone account for $20 of the increase. W_HAMILTON Oct 15 #33

They still have to pay back any premiums paid that do not produce 85% going to drugs/quality. So, no it doesn't Silent Type Oct 15 #34

Yes, anything can be repealed. So why did we make it easy for them? Silent Type Oct 15 #45
