“Nothing makes me happier than knowing that one of my pieces of content could make all the difference in someone’s understanding of their health insurance options. My parents serve as a sort of a case study for my work – my father is enrolled in Original Medicare while my mother is enrolled in Medicare Advantage. Even for a couple married more than 50 years, healthcare is a personal journey, and I try to bring a personal touch to articles aimed at getting people on the right path.”
