Understanding Medicare: Toni King on Navigating a Complex System
Toni King was at a Medicare workshop when she realized how easy it is for someone to misunderstand the system - and how difficult it can be to fix those misunderstandings once they happen.
She’s spent years helping people navigate Medicare, a process shaped by rules, timelines, and decisions that aren’t always intuitive. She shares what it’s like to guide people through it, how the system works, and why it can be so challenging to understand from the outside.
Hear Toni talk about:
Why the system can be difficult for people to understand
The structure of Medicare and how the different parts fit together
The role of private insurance within Medicare
What people need to think about as they approach enrollment
