Retirement Expert Presents 'Health Care in Retirement' on Nov. 20th in West Chicago
Free session by founder of Bentron Financial Group covers variety of topics
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 Thursday, November 20th, Jim Flanagan of Bentron Financial Group leads a free in-depth discussion on Health Care in Retirement at the West Chicago Park District’s ARC Center, 201 W. National St.
In his one-hour 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).
