Medicare Advantage vs Medigap: The Hidden Pricing Trap (2026)

Two people can buy the exact same Medigap Plan G — and one pays DOUBLE. Why? Because almost everyone shopping for Medicare compares the wrong number: the day-one monthly premium. The real cost is hiding in a pricing law tied to your ZIP code.
In this video, I break down the true trade-off between Medicare Advantage and Medigap (Medicare Supplement), the three pricing methods that decide what you'll pay for the next 20 years, and a simple flowchart to route YOU to the right choice based on your budget, your state, and your risk tolerance.
By the end, you'll know exactly which questions to ask before you enroll — and how to avoid locking yourself into a "creeping financial liability."
