Shopping for a Medicare Insurance Plan? Two popular areas to avoid

Not a day goes by that some one doesn't call me and say " I can't believe how bad some of the Medicare advice has been when I called _ _ _ _" ( intentionally blank ). Just had another call today from Ingrid in Texas.  She had been listening to my Podcasts to educate herself and than the problem began. She went to the Internet and started doing her research ( which I recommend...) but made a call and got into a call center and before she knew it, she enrolled into a plan because the sales agent was " pushing " her into a particular type of plan.  The actual plan she bought is not important but the fact was she did not know what she was buying.  As she was going to bed  that night, she couldn't sleep and was troubled.  She realized the rate was really just too good to be true.   Indeed it was.
