    • 234 pages of Medicare gold!

      I'm a financial writer who has interacted with Diane Omdahl in the past, with Diane as the expert editor reviewing my work. Her knowledge is legendary of the most remote details of how Medicare actually works. I bought her book as a resource to check myself if I ever have any doubts when writing about Medicare. As we know, for someone approaching Medicare age around 65, decisions can be overwhelming because of the vast number of choices. But here's what many don't know. Making a bad decision is not always reversible -- such as not opting for supplement insurance (Medigap) initially and wanting to go that route later. This book takes the reader step by step through the entire process. Congratulations, Diane!
