Retiring at 55 is not just retiring ten years earlier. It changes the entire math of your life. From 55 to 65, expenses are often at their highest. You are covering healthcare before Medicare, traveling more, and living fully. At the same time, Social Security has not started. Everything comes from your portfolio. On paper, that can feel uncomfortable. Withdrawal rates look high. The numbers can scare you.But that spike is temporary. Once Medicare and Social Security begin, the pressure on your portfolio drops dramatically. The mistake many people make is evaluating retirement as if every year must look the same. It will not. The early years are different, and planning for them requires intention, not fear.There are also powerful tax decisions available in that window. Roth conversions, capital gain strategies, and income management for health insurance subsidies all compete for priority. You cannot optimize everything at once. The right move depends on how your assets are structured and what future taxes may look like.And then there is the part that does not show up in a spreadsheet. Your highest energy years are limited. Waiting from 55 to 65 does not just shorten retirement. It compresses the healthiest, most active chapter of it. Ten years earlier can mean tripling the time you have in your true go go years.The question is not simply whether you can afford to retire at 55. It is whether you can afford not to examine the opportunity carefully. Retirement planning is math. It is also life. When those two align, the decision becomes clearer.Learn the tips & strategies to get the most out of life with your money._ _ Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

177 Hospice, Caregiving, and Long-Term Care Planning with Raymond Levine Host Marie Betcher, a former hospice nurse and longtime registered nurse, interviews Raymond Levine, Raymond explains he designs long-term care plans that can help pay for caregiving either at home or in a facility, addressing the common misconception that long-term care insurance is only "nursing home insurance." They discuss caregiver stress and the need to support caregivers with respite and practical help. Raymond outlines how long-term care policies generally work as a pool of money over a set period, often with inflation or cost-of-living features, and notes that benefits may not cover 100% of costs depending on the plan and setting. Raymond advises making incremental home modifications in advance to support aging in place and reduce falls. The episode ends with Raymond offering Zoom, phone, and in-person meetings, directing listeners to his website tools and FAQ features, and Marie encouraging listeners to subscribe and share. 00:00 Welcome + Medical Disclaimer  00:29 Meet Your Host Marie Betcher  00:46 Raymond Levine's Backstory: Army, Vietnam & Career Path 02:43 What Raymond Does: Long‑Term Care Planning Meets Hospice Reality 04:21 Caregiver Burnout: Supporting the Family, Not Just the Patient 05:50 Does Long‑Term Care Insurance Pay for In‑Home Care or Facilities? 07:28 What Hospice Covers Under Medicare (and What It Doesn't) 11:00 How Long‑Term Care Policies Work: Pools of Money, Inflation Riders & Costs 16:08 Affordable Options When Money's Tight: Life Settlements, Reverse Mortgages & Hybrids 20:12 Avoiding Crisis: Planning, Home Modifications & Real‑World Care Logistics 22:09 Hospice Isn't a Daily Caregiver: Building a Care Team https://raymondlavineofficial.com/   If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

Get More at LVwithLOVE.com! Become a partner or contact us On this special series of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, we sat down with candidates running for U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District ahead of the May 19, 2026 primary. To keep this fair and useful, every candidate was asked the same core questions. Mark Pinsley is not included because he dropped out. We also reached out multiple times to Congressman Ryan McKenzie's office and did not receive a response. In this episode, we speak with Lewis Shupe of Allentown. Campaign: https://realchange.us/ Why he is running and his first term goalShupe says a key goal is to harness the power of registered voters to help compose and promote legislative initiatives led by citizens. Day to day financial stressShupe points to food insecurity and says demand at food banks is rising, including among working people. He argues wages and cost of living are pushing more households toward needing help with basics. Healthcare and ACA premium tax creditsAsked about extending the ACA premium tax credits and making them permanent, Shupe focuses on restoring Medicare cuts he says were made in a major federal bill, and he says he would go further by supporting Medicare for All. Immigration enforcement, legal pathways, and work authorizationShupe argues that people already in the country should have a legal pathway to citizenship and says families should not be separated. He also claims recent border politics are being misrepresented and frames the issue as needing less drama and more workable solutions. Warehouses and data centersShupe responds to the region becoming “the land of warehouses” and data centers by describing tradeoffs. He says there are pluses and minuses to data centers and references a proposed facility in the western part of the region. His emphasis is on weighing local impacts rather than treating these projects as automatically good. HomelessnessAsked what the federal government can do about local homelessness, Shupe connects the issue to limited income and the gap between assistance and real costs. He references his own experience going on Social Security due to health issues and says that being on a limited income is not enough. Third place in the Lehigh ValleyWhen asked where he likes to spend time outside of work and home, Shupe points to Make Lehigh Valley! a “workshop for people who love to tinker.” Their members include engineers, woodworkers, programmers, artists, amateur radio enthusiasts, radio-controlled airplane flyers, and more.

Part II: How Telehealth is Redefining Clinical Practice and Patient Access Join us for part two of a two-part interview with Dr. Brandon Welch, founder and CEO of doxy.me; a platform that has facilitated over 8 billion minutes of care across 1 million providers in 176 countries. With the administration signing the Consolidated Appropriations Act on February 3, 2026, extending Medicare telehealth flexibilities through December 2027, and patient demand driving unprecedented adoption, virtual care has moved from emergency response to fundamental transformation of clinical practice. Brandon examines how the proliferation of telehealth is reshaping medicine itself: clinical workflows, patient-provider relationships, access equity, and sustainable practice models. Drawing from his book Telehealth Success, he delivers actionable strategies for healthcare leaders navigating the five pillars determining telehealth ROI: patient engagement, clinician efficiency, technology scalability, financial viability, and regulatory compliance in an era where patients expect care everywhere. • Five-pillar framework for achieving sustainable telehealth success across organizations • Financial sustainability models leveraging the two-year Medicare telehealth extension through 2027 • Clinical practice transformation reshaping how medicine is delivered and experienced • Provider success strategies addressing burnout, workflow integration, and practice transformation • Access and equity insights from 176-country, 1 million+ provider implementation Find all of our network podcasts on your favorite podcast platforms and be sure to subscribe and like us.

Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers came to Boquete, Panama for a fresh start—volunteering, exploring, and soaking up what guidebooks promised was a welcoming mountain town. Then, on April 1, 2014, they step onto the El Pianista trail with a small blue backpack and a plan that should've taken only a few hours. They reach the Continental Divide. They take photos. And then, they don't come back.In Episode 1, Dr. Phil breaks down the known timeline, the geography that can turn one wrong decision into a life-threatening trap, and the earliest digital breadcrumbs, failed emergency call attempts, power-ups that suggest battery conservation, and a pattern that raises one terrifying question: were they simply lost… or were they not alone?

It was a real privilege and honor to be asked to return to the White House the day after the State of the Union address. Stigall had the opportunity to sit with several members of President Trump‘s cabinet and officials who were happy and eager to talk up the MAGA agenda. Also, issues that may not have been on our radar. We’ve heard many complaints surrounding the concern about President Trump’s executive order protecting the weed killer “Round Up.” You’ll hear a pretty nuanced discussion about it from the HHS Director on Human Food (yes, that’s a real thing.). Dr. Oz and VP Vance launches a broadside on Medicare and Medicare fraud yesterday and we got a preview from Dr. Oz. And what was the online reaction to the President’s speech and the Democrats’ behavior within social media? Our weekly check in with “Eyes Over” to give us the pulse of the voters mood in the digital square. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let us chat about today the inches all around us and also about how there is no market in healthcare all at once in this show. Today I am talking with Ivana Krajcinovic. And let me give you some examples of the inches. Two members of a plan get infusions at a hospital. And if these two members had gone down the street to get their infusions, the total cost of the two of them would have been $1 million less … $1 million less! How many inches is a million dollars? For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Or the examples Ivana Krajcinovic talks about coming up where an independent practice was charging $135 for a chemo infusion and the hospital down the street was charging for the same exact drug, by the way—the same exact infusion—$13,560 … $135 versus $13,560! We talk about affordability in this country? Member's paying coinsurance off that 13K, by the way. And if you're doing the math at home, that is a 10,000% markup. Or if we start from the Medicare price, it was a 40,000% markup. Then there's another example that Ivana talks about where a plan member went to a hospital and got a $90,000 bill for a series of infusions that, again, down the street would have been $185—all in. Inches much? So, it's pretty clear why the show is part of "The Inches Are All Around Us" series. Why do I say this is part of the "No Market" series? Because look, functioning markets rationalize prices. That's just what they do. So, if you have two places in the exact same geography and one of them is charging 500 times or whatever the other one, you don't have a market if they're both still in business a year later. Ongoing wild price variations is a big tell that there's no market to be had. Another tell, though, is that carrier networks, who are supposed to be the demand curve here—or at least that's what their marketing says or what we are all kind of led to believe—they advertise as high-value networks, right? The fact that any given network experiences essentially no business repercussions for spending a million dollars extra of its plan sponsors' (its customers') money—because that's who's paying for this, the self-insured employer or union, at the end of the day—and the network, the carrier network doesn't lose business as a result … Right? Listen to the show from last week with Jacob Asher, MD (Take Two: EP398) about the carrier nonmarket and why this is the case. But bottom line, if anyone is waiting on a market to constrain prices for them, that is very magical thinking. Where this whole thing is gonna wind up, by the way, is with my guest today, Ivana Krajcinovic, suggesting a roadmap to make a whole lot more likely that you'll pay $135 for an infusion instead of 13 grand. For more on this, do go back and listen to the show with Keith Hartman, RPh, by the way. We teed this off a couple of years ago. That was episode 369. But in Ivana's upcoming roadmap that you're gonna hear about (just doubling down on the spoilers—if I'm gonna do something, I might as well do it well), but in that roadmap, direct contracts with indie practices will feature a starring role. I'm telling you this because if you're one of those folks that listens to like 23 minutes of any given podcast and then bails, make sure you make it to around the 30-minute mark of the show. As I have said several times already, my guest today is the incomparable Ivana Krajcinovic, the outgoing vice president of healthcare delivery at UNITE HERE HEALTH. Ivana has just retired, but she spent over three decades with her team protecting the health and the hard-earned wages of 230,000 hospitality workers. She is exactly the kind of "dangerous expert" that we love to have on the show—someone with the wisdom about how the system actually works and the articulate willingness to talk about it. Okay … so, this conversation about the inches and the nonmarket for infusions specifically in this country, for more information, do go back and read the really excellent Bloomberg News exposé by John Tozzi. It's a really good article, and you'll see everything that we talk about today in writing with all the fact-checking that one would expect from Bloomberg News. So, okay … what we'll do in this episode is, first, we're gonna talk about the infusion nonmarket, the inches and its implications, such as an infusion costing 500 times Medicare when there are 1.5x Medicare options in the same exact health system. Sometimes I just can't even with some of this stuff. But another nonmarket tell, again, is that carrier networks are still in business. We talk all about that. What happens next in this episode is we deconstruct the roadmap that Ivana used to fight back, which starts with (no surprises) drilling into data and ends with direct contracting with independent doctors. And how that happens is by carving out utilization management so that there is site-of-care steerage. So, this is a conversation about fiduciary duty. It's a conversation about transparency, the power of collective action. This podcast is sponsored by Aventria Health Group with an assist from Payerset.

Combining her training as a health economist with more than 30 years working directly with immigrants and the working poor, Ivana oversaw a wide variety of projects. She has deep expertise in engaging participants, ranging from benefit education to chronic disease self-management, as well as in developing peer-to-peer programs. Ivana led a team whose challenge was to radically bend the cost curve while maintaining quality coverage as every dollar that UHH spends on healthcare is a dollar that could go to a worker in wages—higher wages that are likely to do more for workers' health than increasing spending on their healthcare. Ivana and her team have utilized narrow networks, value-based contracts, and direct contracting and have established health centers designed for their members. Ivana has a PhD in economics from Yale University and is the author of From Company Doctors to Managed Care: The United Mineworkers' Noble Experiment (Cornell University Press).   00:00 $135 vs $13,560: How infusion drug prices play into the "Inches All Around Us" series. 02:02 How infusion drug pricing fits into the "No Market" series. 03:19 A roadmap and more episodes on this topic. 04:36 Introducing this week's expert, Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD. 05:10 A must-read Bloomberg News article on infusion pricing. 05:33 An overview of what to expect from this episode. 06:54 The first tell of the infusion nonmarket. 07:41 The price variations that Ivana has seen in the infusion nonmarket. 11:39 How hospital spend affects wage increases affects patients and employees twice over. 12:04 EP373 with Cora Opsahl. 13:43 The second tell of the infusion nonmarket. 14:33 Take Two: EP398 with Jacob Asher, MD. 14:55 EP483 with Jonathan Baran. 16:15 Why networks are apathetic to this pricing discrepancy. 17:55 The factors that play into the nonmarket issue of infusion drug pricing variations. 18:26 EP475 with Peter Hayes. 19:18 EP370 with Erik Davis and Autumn Yongchu. 19:45 Are pricing discrepancies easy to spot? 22:38 Where we have power in a nonmarket situation. 23:22 A recap of the advice in the show so far. 23:39 EP493 with John Quinn. 23:41 EP496 with Mark Newman. 25:51 How you place pricing pressure on an entity. 28:47 EP482 with Preston Alexander. 29:34 How an improved market creates time for better care coordination. 30:52 EP486 with Stan Schwartz, MD. 33:23 The fourth part of the roadmap. 36:41 EP492 and EP490 with Sam Flanders, MD, and Shane Cerone. 36:49 Why serving the community and being fiscally responsible should go hand in hand. 38:05 EP500 with Stacey.   You can learn more at uhh.org and by connecting with Ivana on LinkedIn.   Ivana Krajcinovic, PhD, discusses #infusion #drugpricing on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #financialhealth #commericalpayermarketplace #digitalhealth #healthcareleadership #healthcaretransformation #healthcareinnovation   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

Tara breaks down the massive scope of alleged fraud in federal programs, the court victories clearing the way for enforcement, and the crucial fight over the SAFE Act. Fraud at Scale: Reports suggest up to $1 trillion a year in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal program fraud in multiple Democrat-run cities. Trump's Enforcement Wins: Millions removed from food stamps and Medicaid in Republican states, plus a key appeals court ruling allowing IRS data access. The SAFE Act: Pending legislation could force the Democrats to turn over voter rolls, removing ineligible voters and protecting election integrity. Billionaire Wealth & Taxes: Discussion of wealth taxes as a funding mechanism for federal programs and the political resistance to enforcement.

Tara exposes what may be the largest government fraud scheme in recent U.S. history—stretching from New York to California. Fraud in Plain Sight: A trillion dollars a year in waste and abuse could balance the national budget overnight, yet it continues unchecked. From Medicare home health care to hospice programs, massive payouts are being misused—including benefits to illegal immigrants. The New Economy of Fraud: In New York, personal care services now outpace retail as the top job. In California, federal funds for hospice care and home health services are ballooning, yet patients aren't dying, and providers aren't accountable. Task Force & Accountability: JD Vance leads a new initiative to investigate and stop this fraud, promising tools both for prosecution and prevention. This episode reveals the scale of abuse in government programs, who benefits, and why taxpayers are getting shortchanged.

We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

Roger Whitney wraps up the four-part series on navigating health care before Medicare by introducing a practical decision-making framework using the OODA Loop—observe, orient, decide, act—to help you avoid unforced errors and make a confident judgment call. He walks through organizing your retirement cash flow, estimating MAGI and ACA subsidy eligibility, evaluating COBRA, ACA, and private coverage options, and weighing tax optimization against simplicity and continuity of care.
