Medicare In Readers Digest Form
Here at Braden Medicare Insurance, it is almost an oxymoron to say the words Medicare and Reader's Digest Form in the same sentence. That is simply because Medicare is so broad and complex that it is challenging to encapsulate the concepts in a book, let alone a chapter, and have them make sense. In this article, we have done our best to present the condensed Reader's Digest version of Medicare. We hope you find the article helpful and worthwhile.


THE FOUR PARTS OF MEDICARE
Original Medicare has always consisted of Two Parts, Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B, since Lyndon Johnson signed it into law. Then, under Bill Clinton, Medicare introduced the third part of Medicare, Medicare Part C. Initially referred to as Medicare Choice at the time, it later became known as Medicare Advantage. Lastly, George W. Bush added the final component of Medicare, Medicare Part D, which covers Prescription Drug plans.
