"I Have a Fear of Navigating the Medicare System Alone"

Feeling isolated or unsupported during the decision process. Worry that they won’t find trustworthy, unbiased help to guide them through complex choices.

The Silent Fear No One Talks About

For many people, Medicare decisions don’t just feel complicated — they feel lonely.

It’s not just the parts, plans, and penalties that cause stress. It’s the worry that there’s no one trustworthy to walk you through the process. According to a 2024 Kaiser Family Foundation report, more than 50% of new Medicare enrollees say they feel uncertain or unsupported when making their initial coverage decisions.

And that isolation is real — especially when you’re afraid one wrong move could cost you thousands over time.

Why This Fear Is So Common

• Too Many Choices — Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Part D. Each comes with its own rules, costs, and coverage details.

  
  

• Mistrust of Advice — Between aggressive marketing and one-size-fits-all pitches, many shoppers worry they’re not getting unbiased guidance.

  
  

• No Clear “Map” — Medicare.gov is a strong resource, but it can feel overwhelming without someone to interpret how the details apply to you.

Alexis adds:

“Our work isn’t about selling a plan. It’s about building a relationship. We want clients to feel supported, informed, and comfortable calling us anytime — whether they’re enrolling or just have a question.”

Trust Signals That Matter

• Unbiased Guidance — As independent brokers, Mary and Alexis work with multiple carriers, ensuring recommendations are tailored to your needs.
