Phil's hot new book, Get What's Yours for Medicare: Maximize Your Coverage and Minimize Your Cost --  is available at Simon & Schuster as well as here, here, and here. Phil's my good friend and co-author with PBS NewsHour's Paul Solman of our NY Times best seller and fully up-to-date, Get What's Yours -- the Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security. 

This is Phil's second appearance on Economics Matters -- the Podcast. We discuss recent changes to Medicare and how best to decide whether to choose Traditional Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan during the current open enrollment period. This is a complex decision.  Grab your kids, grab your spouse, grab your friends, and have everyone read Get What's Yours for Medicare: Revised and Updated before helping you make this major decision. 

Here's the book's description. 

An updated and expanded edition of the top-selling consumer guide to Medicare. It explains how to choose the best plans, especially during Medicare's annual enrollment period, how to use Medicare's extensive health benefits, and changes to Medicare that are expanding what it will cover and moving care from hospitals into the home. Medicare is the primary insurance plan for 70 million retired and disabled Americans. Understanding how Medicare works is essential to their health and well-being. However, Medicare has become more complicated--and more confusing. Get What's Yours for Medicare is the authoritative consumer Medicare guide. It includes detailed chapters on when to enroll in Medicare, how to evaluate the often-bewildering choice of Medicare insurance plans, and, most importantly, how to use Medicare to find high-quality, affordable health care. The book also explains important upcoming changes to Medicare so consumers will know what to expect.
