The elections are over! (At least most of them are) Now what?

It seems like, over the past month, we have been bombarded with nasty political ads or commercials by Joe Namath, Jimmy JJ Walker, and Tom Selleck pitching Medicare plans. At least the political ads are over for now (except for Georgia). We just have to put up with the Medicare ads for the next month.

In this episode, we discuss the election results and the effects on our planning for the remainder of this year and into 2023. Can you believe it’s only 6 weeks away? It looks like the next two years will bring a solidly divided government. What will that mean to you and your family?
