New Book by Danielle K. Roberts Helps Boomers Avoid the Costliest Mistakes People Make with Medicare

PR Newswire

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Every day, some 10,000 people enroll in Medicare, the federal government's health insurance program for people 65 and over. And as they do so, thousands of baby boomers are making mistakes that can result in expensive penalties, hours of hassle, and even some unforeseen problems that can haunt them for the rest of their lives.

To make getting the best possible Medicare coverage easier, Medicare expert Danielle Kunkle Roberts has written 10 Costly Medicare Mistakes You Can't Afford to Make. In this new book, available in Kindle and paperback format from Roselane Publishing, Roberts exposes the most common pitfalls new Medicare beneficiaries unwittingly make and shares how to expertly avoid them.

Through her company, Boomer Benefits, she has helped more than 50,000 people make sense of Medicare and has seen what can go wrong in this confusing, complicated insurance program.

Never far from her mind, for example, is the engineer who came into her Fort Worth, Texas, office several years ago. She recalls, "He was preparing to retire from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and looking for guidance about his health coverage. He came into the conference room, tossed his copy of the 120-page Medicare and You Handbook onto the table in front of me, and said, 'I'm a relatively smart guy. You could even say that I build fighter jets for a living. But I actually feel dumber after attempting to read this. None of it makes a lick of sense to me.'"

In an interview, this Medicare expert can talk about:

What Medicare would look like under a Biden presidency or a second Trump presidency
What 30 million baby boomers get wrong during Medicare's open enrollment period
How to simplify the Medicare journey to five key decisions
10 expensive mistakes that could cost baby boomers thousands
How boomers can choose coverage that provides exactly what they expect it to, with no surprises
