Millions of Seniors rely on Medicare for health coverage in retirement, but new data tells us that a frightening number of older Americans are confused about the program's most basic rules. In a recent quiz distributed among adults aged 60 to 64, 65% failed to answer most questions correctly. Specifically, 42% of older workers thought that both Medicare Parts A and B are free. Additionally, 37% thought that filing for Medicare and Social Security together was a requirement. Another 34% didn't know that Medicare won't pay for health coverage outside of the U.S.

Even if you do fully understand Medicare and how it will affect your healthcare in retirement there are good reasons to attend this workshop where experts will be able to answer all your questions.
