After setting up appointment. I met with Karl, he seemed to me to know what he was doing. After reading about medicare... and all the stuff I received in the mail, seemed like it was coming 3 to 4 times a week. we talked about my plan i have , but i would pay around 85 per month so I didn't like that idea. and so he showed me other plans that were free. So i went with the free plan from AARP United healthcare complete. So if you need help with Medicare I would call Karl.read more
