 We apologize for the fact that neither our Photographer, our Back-up Photographer or the Back-up to the Back-up were available for this meeting, so we had to use file photos in this blog and we were unable to get a photo of our speaker.

 

 

Speaker


Our speaker was Matt Gibson from a firm called Senior Benefits.  Senior Benefits markets Medicare alternative products to retired individuals over 65.  Matt first talked about the four parts of Medicare.  They are Part A which is Hospital Insurance, Part B which is Medical Insurance, Part C which is Medicare Advantage Plans and Part D which is Prescription Drug Plans.  He noted that there are gaps in the Part A and Part B insurance offered by the Government which have given rise to Part C and Part D which are private insurance.  Parts C and D are linked.  He talked about how Medicare Advantage and Medigap Policies fill in the gaps left by the Government Plans.  Medigap Plans are more like the traditional insurance plans and all private insurance carriers offering such plans must offer the same coverage options.  Medicare Advantage Plans are more flexible and each private insurance carrier offers different features and benefits and payment options.  He noted it is possible to enroll in Medicare Advantage Plans that offer a no premium option.  However, anyone signed up for Medicare Part B, the government insurance plan have to pay a $100 plus monthly premium.

Our speaker this week was Sven Wilson, professor and chair of the Political Science Department at BYU.  Sven is also the visionary and founder of the Character First movement as highlighted on the Doug Wright show on KSL radio . For this week's meeting,  Sven focused his thoughts on rejecting the populist movement circulating in today's politics and spoke about the necessity of a strong leader who shows compassion and isn't afraid to admit when he or she is wrong. Just another way to keep politics civil and promote goodwill in all aspects of life.
