Monk Life and Health Insurance Advising

03/05/2026

Life insurance can be a difficult conversation to have. But if you have someone who depends on you (not just financially), it can be a good idea to have at least something in place. It doesn't have to be a big policy, even a small policy can make a big difference if something should happen to you or your loved one.

If you would like to have a conversation and explore options that can help take care of you and your family:

As you are looking at paying higher costs on health insurance this year, beware of low cost plans being touted as money saving alternatives. It's not that they are necessarily bad options for the right situation, but each of the lower cost alternatives have different ways they work and different ways they cover things. If you aren't aware of exactly how they work, you may get caught off guard when it comes time to making a claim. We are well versed in all the different options outside of the Marketplace and would be happy to help you understand your options fully before you buy.

Over the years, I’ve met many people who tell me the same thing — “Medicare is so confusing.” And honestly, I get it. There’s a lot of information out there, and not all of it is clear or trustworthy.

So I decided to create something simple and straightforward — a short video series that walks through the basics of Medicare step-by-step. No gimmicks, no pressure. Just honest explanations to help you understand what’s what.

The series covers things like:
🩺 What Medicare actually is and how it works
📅 How and when to enroll
💡 The two main ways to supplement your coverage
💊 How prescription coverage (Part D) fits in
⚠️ And some common pitfalls to avoid

If you or someone you care about is getting close to 65, or just trying to make sense of Medicare, I hope this helps take a little stress out of the process.

Texas House passed HB 2516. This is BIG NEWS for individuals on Medicare due to ALS or End-Stage Renal Disease. HB 2516 allows anyone under the age of 65 diagnosed with ALS or ESRD to obtain coverage under a Medicare Supplement. Prior to this bill, their only access was Plan A or Medicare Advantage. Now people who need it will have access to additional coverage options!

This bill is effective September 1st 2025 and creates a special enrollment period for individuals under age 65 enrolled in Medicare Part B due to ESRD or ALS. This bill also allows individuals currently in these categories to enroll in a Medicare Supplement Plan after December 1st 2025 and before July 1 2026.

Here is the full text of HB 2516:
