Now, I'm not a Medicare broker, just a #diy retiree. But I know how to find a national broker to help.
Last week's video attracted the attenion of one such broker with a good channel. Here is his link:
@SeniorSavingsNetwork
He has a site devoted to Plan N Medigap insurance:
https://plannmedicare.org
and his full site is here:

Now, I bought my Plan N through @BoomerBenefits, another broker with a good YouTube channel.

Leave a note below on a broker you would recommend.
And be sure to see the full playlist for related videos for a DIY retiree's take on Medicare.
Here's my standard warning: I'm not a financial planner. I'm not a professional. There are no initials after my name. So take these as entertaining ideas from an educated DIY retiree. Always do your own due diligence, and seek out a professoinal if you need one.
