Various pleas for money are back. And, yeah, those phony-seeming life insurance ads from companies you never heard of.

I hate to say it but Namath et al probably will be back in the new year. There are always people turning 65.

I guess you are seeing/hearing this on mainstream media. Since I don't plug in tv, I don't hear any of this. But Medicare is a great health insurance when one gets there.

Medicare is great but the commercials are way too over advertised. As I have asked before. Who is paying for these ads? Hundreds of them airing everyday! Advertising is expensive.
