Did you know that healthcare costs will be your largest expense in retirement?

Do you know when to enroll and which part(s) to sign up for? Do you understand what is covered and what isn’t covered? Established in 1965, Medicare is a federally-funded medical plan for Americans age 65 and over. It covers medical expenses such as doctor's visits, hospital stays, drugs and other treatments. The law was amended in 1972 to include people with disabilities and end-stage renal disease. As with many government programs, wading through the Medicare jungle can be confusing at best. At Merkel-Damer Financial Strategies Group of Wells Fargo Advisors, we help you plan for the costs of Medicare and the Supplemental Coverage.
