Trying to make heads or tails of health care, with its seemingly endless changes and complexity, is enough to make just about anyone queasy.
Against that backdrop, a retirement planning expert who speaks with clarity and authority is the perfect antidote. On Wednesday, October 15th, Jim Flanagan of Bentron Financial Group leads an in-depth discussion on Health Care in Retirement at the Wheaton Park District Community Center, 1777 S. Blanchard Road.
In his 90-minute presentation, which begins at 7 p.m., Flanagan will provide detail of the four parts of Medicare: Parts A (Hospital Insurance), Part B (Medical Insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Part D (Prescription Drugs).
