By Alan Blackwell
Your Medicare: Choose the Right Plan & Avoid Costly Mistakes
The 2026 edition gives you a fundamental understanding of Medicare — eligibility, enrollment, and the real tradeoffs between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and Part D — so you can match coverage to cost, doctors, and lifestyle.
- Easy to understand
- Updated for 2026
- Avoid costly mistakes
- Make confident decisions
“This book explained Medicare in a way I could finally understand. It helped me make a confident decision.”
Why it was written
Most Medicare material is either too thin or too technical. Alan wrote this book so families can learn the structure of the program before they sit down with an agent — and so that conversation is better when they do.
Reading the book is not a substitute for a licensed review of plans available in your ZIP code. When you are ready, start a Medicare Checkup.
