Annual Election Period

Each year, from Nov 15 to Dec 31, is the Annual Election Period for Medicare beneficiaries. What this means, is that during this 6 week period, people with Medicare who would like to enroll for the first time, or change insurance plans with Medicare Part D, the outpatient prescription drug program of Social Security, can do so. This is also the time of year that Medicare beneficiaries can enroll with a Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO or PFFS, or elect to opt out of one of these plans and become covered by Original Medicare. Coverage changes become effective on January 1st of next year.

You would think that maybe government sponsored health insurance planning is simpler than private insurance planning, but it is not. For more information please go to the contact us page of starkinsurnce.net for our telephone number and e-mail.

Government controlled health care is not something that the american people want. 85% of american love their health care and do not trust the government to be involved in such an important issue in their life.

Everything the government touches is a failure............the government needs to stay out of our lives like they did during the depression on of 1920, we snapped out of it in a little over a year. They got involved in it with the progressives in 1929 and we didn't get out of it until after WWII.

FDR served four terms and wanted to serve as President for life, like other dictators. We need to educate ourselves and stop the government control and ownership of private enterprise in our country.

Many people in this country are aware today more than ever that our country is under attack by those whose believe that capitalism is a failed system and it needs to be transformed into a system alien to what our founder father intended it to be.

I stand committed to our constitution and what our founding fathers, anoited by god gave us as the foundation of our republic.

God Bless America,

The comment made by me, Ricky Wieder was my opinion, not that of Naifa-Broward. I do not know why Naifa-Broward was list above as the header.
