love handles... spare tire... back rolls... middle-age spread. whatever you wanna call it, it makes us look terrible in our favorite clothes. >> i've tried diets and exercise and nothing will get rid of all this extra skin from having three kids. i mean, look at all that. i need to get rid of that. >> what's embarrassing for me is this... this... and just, all over the back, you know? it's just like there are so many rolls. >> with this area right here, and the area right here, the muffin top right above my pants... i don't feel comfortable wearing these types of shirts. i would love to be able to wear what everybody else is wearing. >> i would not waste my money on miracle diets, exercise machines or whatever like that, because i'm looking at a specific area... and if i could lose that, if i could get rid of this... amen, o.k.?

>> thanks for being here. >> i'm so excited. well, as you know, i've worked over the years on so many tv shows and i've worked with more celebrities than i can count, so i have to know what looks good, and i learned that the key to looking good in your clothes is what you're wearing underneath your clothes. now, we all have our issues, whether it's a bulge here or a little roll over your jeans here, or if you just want a sleek and toned look, kymaro's new body shaper can do all that for you and more. i want you to look at this; this material is microfiber material and it moves with your body. it's flexible, it's breathable. it's not gonna suck you in like some other shapewear. it's a silky-smooth fabric that just hugs you and then gets rid of all the lumps and the bumps, and who are we kidding? we can all use a little help with the lumps and the bumps. >> we can all use a little help. >> o.k., i see that you're holding one of these horrible dreadful old-fashioned corset things and what's up with that? >> i know, this... it's like impossible little clasps... >> oh, it's horrible. >> you can't do it up. >> no, you can't. >> and then, wait, look at how uncomfortable this boning is. >> i wouldn't go there, i really wouldn't, and not only by the fact that it's uncomfortable, but you can see it underneath your clothing

and it's just embarrassing. people are gonna know what you're wearing. the wonderful thing about the kymaro new body shaper is that it's totally discreet. and it doesn't have boning, it's not gonna hurt you, there's no clasps trying to do something behind your back. it's so simple, you just step into it, you pull it up and you instantly have this fabulous figure. >> julia: o.k. let me ask you. >> evon: mm-hmm. >> are you wearing a kymaro's new body shaper right now? >> yes, i am-- i am! really, i'll show you. it is honestly so comfortable, it's like a second skin. no matter what my clothing... i could be wearing anything from my jeans to an evening gown, it's gonna always be comfortable no matter what the weather. i love it, i wouldn't be caught dead without it. >> absolutely. >> i can now wear my little black dress. i owe it all to the kymaro new body shaper. i couldn't fit into it before. i couldn't zip it up. i was being hugged in my hips and thighs. i did not feel comfortable at all, and now i feel fabulous. i am so thankful for having this product. i feel wonderful. >> you know, i hate those

one-piece body shapers and i've tried other two-pieces, and you put them on and it just binds and then you get the bulge... not this one. this new body shaper, you put it on-- no bulge. >> i have clean lines, no bulges and i can finally feel comfortable in a tank top again. i'm super excited about this. this is great. >> there's no comparison to the other shapers that are out there. this body shaper works. it's really thin, it's comfortable, i can wear it all day long without worrying about it rolling or me getting hot, and i look great in it. >> now what exactly is this criss-cross? >> julia, i'm glad you asked. the kymaro new body shaper has something that no other shaper can offer: this specially designed cross over the back. it provides all-day support, keeps your shoulders back and your posture straight. so not only do you get that slimming look, but you get back support all throughout the day. >> here in the back it has these cross stitching... this pattern here, and this supports the shoulders, the upper back and that's where i have my problem,

because i do tend to sometimes stoop a little bit, and so this just sort of holds me up taller and straighter... which i like to be since i'm just a, a short, you know, not, not real tall. i would highly recommend it to anyone watching this show. i mean, it's, it's wonderful. my back has never felt so good. >> now, evon, i notice that there's two pieces. what's the advantage of two pieces versus one piece? >> julia, i'm glad you asked. it's really important, because the two pieces actually complement each other. you can get the smoothness of a one-piece without the inconvenience of a one-piece. it's not hot, which is important. and a great feature: you can mix and match sizes so you can get a customized fit. the full coverage starts just below the bustline and goes just above the knee, and one of my favorite features is you don't have to get completely undressed when you go to the powder room. >> it's wonderful. you can mix and match with the two different colors, depending on what you're wearing, so you're always confident that your underwear's not gonna be showing.

there is no other product out there like the body shaper. i've tried them all and this is completely different, completely unique. it helps me stand straighter, it makes me look thinner, and none of the other body shaper products out there do both of those things. >> trust me, kymaro has thought of everything while still keeping a woman's body in mind. >> exactly. now, don't go away. coming up on the show, we're gonna be hearing from some ladies who've been wearing kymaro's new body shaper and we're gonna be seeing the reactions from some unsuspecting shoppers when they try it for the very first time. >> evon: ooh. >> julia: yeah, you don't want to go away. >> announcer: stop suffering every time you look at yourself in the mirror. those days of not being able to zip up your dress or button your pants are over. kymaro's new body shaper is the only way to get your figure back. you can look up to 20 pounds thinner instantly. that's right, instantly. the soft, breathable fabric moves with you and won't curl or roll up. kymaro's new body shaper is so light and comfortable that you can wear it year-round.

i felt very nauseous. >> does it take you a few hours in the morning to really, really wake up? >> i guess it takes... almost, yeah, two to three hours to really get wide awake and, like, in the groove. >> do you feel sluggish in the morning? >> i do, yes. i don't sleep well at night, so that's why. >> yeah, it's really hard to get out of bed. but the kids get me up, so, you know, i get up. >> weight you put on and find next to impossible to take off, no "get up and go" during the day when you're supposed to be getting up and going, an overall lack of energy but a lot of desire for sugar and salt... if you're feeling this way, don't be surprised. it's estimated that over 80% of americans-- and those are epidemic proportions-- suffer from the exact same things. hi, i'm chuck winston. what's going on? what is this problem that no one is talking about? we'll get to that in a moment. the cause of the problem is your everyday life. we're bombarded with stress 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

we find it incredibly difficult to eat the correct foods in the right amounts at the optimal time, and honestly, who really has much time to exercise, regardless of what machine the exercise gurus on tv come up with? so what happens? in spite of our best efforts, we gain weight. we feel exhausted. we try to fight back food cravings and all the while, our bodies are becoming more and more depleted. by now, you're probably asking, "so what's the problem?" it's called adrenal fatigue. it's estimated four out of five americans have it and don't even know it-- or know what it is. >> we're here on the street asking real people what they know about adrenal fatigue. ...have you ever heard of adrenal fatigue? >> no, i haven't. >> no, i've never... i never heard of that. >> what, what is it? >> no, i have not. >> there seems to be a lot of confusion about adrenal fatigue. chuck, back to you for the latest news on this silent epidemic. >> thanks, megan.

so what exactly is adrenal fatigue? here to help explain is noted m.d., author and lecturer, dr. noelle holly. >> thanks, chuck. it's my pleasure to be here. let's start at the beginning. these are the major systems in your body and the ones that you're probably most familiar with: the circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive, nervous and reproductive system. but there's another system that no one ever talks about and it's actually command central for your body. it's called the adrenal system. your adrenal system helps regulate your metabolism, your energy production and even your moods. this is accomplished by the release of hormones through the adrenal glands. >> do you know where your adrenal glands are? >> um... maybe somewhere around upper... >> neck? >> mmm-hmm. >> it's like i'm really bad at bio... no, no, i've no idea. [laughs] >> i don't. [chuckling] >> dr. holly: these are

your adrenal glands, on top on your kidneys. because the adrenal system is associated with energy and moods, it is particularly susceptible to stress. and we all know about stress. if it's unrelenting, the adrenal glands are never idle and constantly at work, producing adrenaline, cortisol and the other hormones. ultimately, your adrenal system can become worn out and you're left with adrenal fatigue. >> megan: have you ever heard of adrenal fatigue? >> i haven't. >> no, i haven't heard of adrenal fatigue before. >> no, but i'm very interested now. >> i don't know what that is. >> dr. holly: the early signs of adrenal fatigue include sudden weight gain because your cortisol levels are going through the roof and you're becoming resistant to insulin, which means more insulin production and that leads to more fat. you develop severe food cravings which just leads to overeating and, yes, increased weight gain. and taking diet pills to lose

weight... let's talk about them for a second. whether they're called fat burners, cortisol controllers or appetite suppressants, they all do the same thing: address the symptoms, not the cause, of weight gain. the vast majority of these pills contain caffeine and some other stimulant that do the same thing stress does. they cause your body to release stimulation hormones. with stress already overworking your adrenal system, these pills compound the damage, so you see little or no weight loss. >> have you ever tried a diet pill that worked right away, you lost some weight and then, in a few weeks, you gain it right back? >> i actually did. and i'm so disappointed it hasn't worked. i've tried more than one. >> i've tried a couple of diet pills but i didn't even do the couple of weeks thing because they do that thing, they're like, um... and i think it's a matter of not having natural ingredients, i'm a big natural girl. >> yeah, i have a hard time sticking to weight loss plans. >> you name 'em, i've tried 'em. or someone in my family has, so... >> dr. holly: so, how can you relieve adrenal fatigue,

finally lose weight, not be tired all the time, not crave sugar and salt? the answer to these questions are in this book that's been prepared by the adrenal fatigue institute. it's called adrenal fatigue: don't let it keep you from losing weight and enjoying life. the adrenal fatigue institute has also created a safe natural product called cylapril. it's a unique formulation of ingredients that will revitalize your adrenal system and restore it to optimal effectiveness, so you can finally lose weight. >> please stay tuned to learn how to get your very own free copy of this remarkably important book. you're also going to learn how to get a free supply of cylapril, so you can get back to a less stressful life and healthier adrenal system. >> announcer: do you know why adrenal fatigue causes you to suddenly put on weight? >> just recently, i dieted, dieted, dieted and then looked a plate of cheese and like, two pounds-- i don't know where it came from. it's really frustrating.

>> announcer: do you know why adrenal fatigue prevents you from losing weight? >> i... i don't know. >> what is it? [♪...] >> uh... >> announcer: that's why you have to read adrenal fatigue: don't let it keep you from losing weight and enjoying life. written by the experts at the adrenal fatigue institute, this easy-to-read book contains the information you need to understand how you can finally beat adrenal fatigue and lose weight. >> it looks really good. the picture on the front is great 'cause she looks like she's just loving life and living it to the fullest. >> announcer: by calling now, you'll receive a copy of this informative and valuable book absolutely free. and as a special bonus for calling right now, you'll also receive a free supply of cylapril. unlike dangerous diet pills, cylapril works on the cause of weight gain and not just the symptoms, so you will lose weight. in fact, we guarantee you'll see results in 15 days. >> safe, natural and effective cylapril revitalizes and

are the symptoms, then i'm thinking like my mother, my sister, my dog, my boyfriend are probably in that 80%. >> well, now that you're telling me, it's somewhat familiar to me 'cause i often have a little bit of those symptoms but i didn't think that was the name for it. i didn't know. >> that's incredible. i didn't know that, i didn't know that it was affecting so many people like that. >> those are just some of the examples of the effects of adrenal fatigue. now the big question is what can you do to fix it? here to talk to you about overcoming adrenal fatigue is author and lecturer, dr. noelle holly. >> thanks, chuck. it's a pleasure to be here. let me ask everyone watching: do any of these conditions sound familiar to you? morning fatigue-- do you get out of bed and feel like you haven't really woken up until a couple of hours later? how about the mid-afternoon blahs? do you feel sluggish and is your thinking cloudy in the middle of the day? do you suddenly get a burst

i've been in this business for 13 years now, and i have tried so many different types of makeup, 'cause i have really sensitive skin. i've struggled with psoriasis and eczema my whole life, and to find a makeup that finally will soothe my skin is just a blessing. >> i know the feeling. >> yeah, and i just happened to come across sheer cover, and i just fell in love with it, and it gave me my confidence back. >> well, you look completely flawless, but we know... that's not the reality for any of us. >> no. we all have things we struggle with, with our skin, and things we want to cover. >> let's look at the things that you maybe are covering. >> okay. >> ( laughter ) >> leann allowed us to shoot her bare-faced before production, so let's put that up. you guys watch. >> ( audience murmurs ) there's a lot of redness. i have a lot of broken capillaries around my nose, and my cheeks, and that big zit on my chin is really beautiful. >> you look airbrushed. i mean, you really do look absolutely flawless. i'm going to that, and i'm going back to you, and i'm thinking, "wow!" >> yeah, that's exactly how i feel. with sheer cover i feel like i can smooth out and even out all of my flaws so that i can put my best face forward

every time i walk out the door. it's just this naturally beautiful me. >> it is the naturally beautiful you. >> ( applause ) >> let's turn it over to you, lisa garner. you're a professional makeup artist, and we've seen your work in vanity fair, in cosmo. what is it that you love about using sheer cover on yourself and on your clients? >> i love how easy it is. it's so quick, but it's so effective. it's so beautiful and smooth, and it does give you that coverage. >> let's talk about the blurring of flaws business, because i know, at my age, i love that. >> "at your age," or just at any age? >> okay, we love that. but it's the mix of the minerals, the mica, which takes the light away from your flaws. >> you're right. it's the way the minerals sit on top of each other, the way they layer against the skin-- it's so fine-- and then the mica reflects the light away from those fine lines and any blemishes we might have. and that's what gives you the radiance and the glow. >> yeah, and it really does make a major difference. every woman should have the opportunity to look beautiful, and that's what sheer cover gives you.

>> woman: sheer cover is a breakthrough in cosmetic science. it was first developed as a corrective cosmetic for skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and post-surgical scars. >> one of the things that set sheer cover apart from other mineral makeups and also from traditional liquid makeup is the fact that it has a natural spf, soothing botanicals which can help calm redness, and it also has anti-oxidants which help minimize photo-aging and photo damage. >> i was in a car accident about a year ago. the skin care specialist, everyone, was like, "minerals. use mineral-based makeup. it's gonna protect you. when i found sheer cover, it changed my life. people don't notice the scar, and my skin looks great. it's an amazing thing. >> ( audience applauds ) >> okay, i want you to think about your day, and i know it's busy. you're in an out of the car, you've got appointments, you've got errands, groceries, picking up kids.

the bottom line is, your makeup gets quite a workout, so to prove that sheer cover can stand up to your busy day, we sent twinmaria and helena out for a 5k run right outside our studio here in southern california. one is wearing sheer cover, and the other is wearing a very popular liquid makeup, and we're gonna see which makeup lasts the longest. now, while the twins are out running, let me show you how sheer cover works so that you can see just how easy it is. these are three sheer cover customers, our beautiful ladies, who have a range of skin issues. but i want you to watch as they put their makeup on, and you'll see how they transform their look. so, ladies, you ready? >> all: yes. >> okay, let's do it. now, if you'll notice, everybody is starting with their concealer. it is so creamy that the ladies are applying it with just a little light touch. julie is covering up what right here? >> i have freckles, and i do have dark circles, so i do want to cover those up. >> how important is a concealer to you, deshaune?

>> extremely important. >> extremely important. concealer, your best friend. now, check out shannon. she's gonna cover that birthmark. >> it's so light that when i first tried it, i thought, there is no way this is going to cover my birthmark, and sure enough, it covers it right up. >> look at this. shannon spends how much time in the morning putting your makeup on? >> not much. >> yeah. now she puts the brush into the mineral powders, swirls it right on. the minerals blend so easily, and they rest lightly on top of the surface of your skin. it's that simple. shannon is flawless. that's how fast it is. >> ( audience applauds ) >> look how pretty your skin is. she looks like she has no makeup on at all, and yet she's covered up those little blemishes. now, look at julie. she's flawless. >> thank you. >> you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. >> i had some help. >> ( laughter ) >> okay, brushes down. i want you to look straight out into the audience so that you can see the sheer cover difference. there it is-- a beautiful, silky, flawless, fresh complexion.

this is the look of natural skin, only better. >> i think the thing that made me fall in love with sheer cover was the coverage. i have very fair, very sensitive skin. i also battle having dark rcles, which i think a lot of us do, so i begin with the sheer cover concealer i do under my eyes, and then i swirl the brush, start working it around and working it around, and it's just such a great feeling. sheer cover gives a sheen and it gives a glow and it gives a freshness. it is better than any liquid foundation i have ever found. it is amazing. sheer cover is amazing. >> leeza gibbons: coming up in just a bit, our twins finish their 5k run, and we'll see which makeup wins the challenge. and those "we've seen it all" women from new york city put sheer cover to the ultimate test. >> wow. >> happy endings at a wine country wedding, and more about what celebrities might be hiding. >> i inherited the deep circles,

and i'm really self-conscious about it, and i've tried every product. this is the secret weapon. >> up next, your chance to start airbrushing your own flaws away in just seconds with sheer cover. >> woman: say goodbye to heavy, goopy liquid foundation and get set for the amazing sheer cover, the lightweight mineral makeup that gives you the coverage of a liquid but feels like you're wearing nothing at all. watch as freckles or spots simply vanish. blotchy or sun-damaged skin, now smooth and flawless. redness or rosacea? not anymore. and sheer cover works like magic on under-eye circles, acne breakouts, even leg veins, scars, and birthmarks. >> whatever skin problem you have, it can cover. there's nothing, i don't think, that sheer cover hasn't seen that it can't fix, which is really good.

than anything i've seen. >> technology now means you don't have to wear a thick and heavy foundation base to have flawless skin. sheer cover will give you that luminous effect. it's going to last all day. you're gonna look great. people are gonna comment about that. >> ( applause ) >> earlier in the show, we took twins helena and maria, and we sent them out for a 5k run, and now we're ready to reveal the results of how sheer cover compares for staying power with a leading liquid foundation. >> helena and maria, come on out, girls. >> hi, ladies. >> hi. >> i love it. you're still running, running, running, running. okay, ladies, look straight at this camera here. let's take a look. can you see, audience, the liquid makeup? >> audience: yes! >> i see a huge difference. first of all, maria has been wearing the liquid foundation, and i see streakiness, shininess, the makeup is wearing away around your nose, underneath your eyes and your cheeks. it looks cakey. it's not looking pretty like that.

however, helena looks gorgeous, flawless. >> doesn't she? >> absolutely. >> did you even break a sweat, girl? >> i did. >> and yet the sheer cover hasn't changed at all. it hasn't sweated off. you still look glowing and radiant, but you don't look streaky at all. but that's looking incredible. >> so the headline here is, lisa, sweat-proof, lasts all day, and it's not gonna rub off on your clothes or... >> your boyfriend. >> ...or your boyfriend or husband or whatever. girls, thank you so much. >> what's amazing about sheer cover minerals is that, as you go through the day, instead of becoming powdery, which is what you might think would happen, it's exactly the opposite. it blends in with your natural oils, and it almost ends up feeling like you've got a soft glow, like a moisturizer, like you've put a moisturizer on. >> the best thing about after using sheer cover, it immediately conceals all my skin blemishes and gave me that "girl next door"- but-celebrity look that every woman wants. >> i inherited the deep circles.

see these dark circles under my eyes? i had people saying, "are you tired? maybe you should get some sleep." and i'm really self-conscious about it. for me, the first thing i grab is the concealer duo. it gives me beautiful coverage in a really easy, light way. it makes me feel very natural. then i just brush on powder foundation. this is something that is very healthy and light. it's just beautiful, and i love that. >> you know, there's one day in a woman's life where she absolutely has to look her most beautiful, her most radiant and glowing, and that is her... >> all: wedding day! >> absolutely. and one very special bride got a celebrity-style sheer cover makeover, not just for herself, but for everyone in the bridal party, and it was beautiful. here's how it went. >> okay, we're going for our makeup and our hair right now. >> hi, guys! >> woman: good morning! >> good morning. >> woman: consuelo, what are some of your concerns for your wedding?

maneuver in their homes. navigator navigates very easily. i can be here on the carpet like this. i can just switch a button and be all the way under the table. look at this hose. it stretches longer and longer. just go right into these tiny little spaces. i can even get the dust off my fan. this is a huge problem. so it really allows you to maniplate your hose and get it in the places you want it. do you see those cobwebs? all i have to do, i'm not even on my tippy toes. this has probably been about 4 months since i've cleaned this and i'm not gonna lie. don't judge me by that. i've set up another challenge for mark. a maneuverability challenge. kind of like a vacuuming obstacle course right here in the living room. the question is, are you up for it?

navigator has a lot of features that you could definitely use. i liked how convenient the vacuum was to go from carpets to floors at the flick of a switch. we tried it on laminate wood flooring, did very well. we tried it on a berber, on a shag, on a pile. it seemed to perform and pick up very well on those 3 different types of carpeting. the length of the hose is very nice. it has a swivel neck to it so it kind of moves with the hose. and the suction's very good. i don't have any vacuum for $199.00 in our store that will do carpets, floors and have attachments on board. with rubber wheels so you don't scratch the wood floors. so for $199.00 it's a great buy. so you see even vacuum cleaner professionals are impressed by the navigator's power, performance and price. but if you've been wondering how the shark navigator compares to other vacuums, take a look at this. my old dirt devil vacuum, when i turn it on, the noise is outrageous. not only did it not vacuum it, but it sprinkled all

of the dirt behind the vacuum. really got to use your whole arm it feels like. i can definitely feel a little sweat going on here. the thing that really kind of annoys me is that weight. it's just bulky and heavy and awkward to maneuver. we have a dyson but the shark navigator is half the price. bottom line, excellent. i love this vacuum. it's so much better. it's more maneuverable, easier to use, light weight and it's only 199 bucks. i love this navigator. it does more than any other vacuum for way less than i though i'd have to pay. that's exciting. i don't' know why anything would want to pay twice the price. the navigator is great. for many people pet hair is a real problem. but for the navigator it's no problem at all. that's why i've set up this demonstration. wait a minute. i'm gonna use the navigator this time. because i remember how hard that one was to use. ok, no problem, amy. well, we have a pretty serious mess set up over here. let's get to it and see what happens. let's do it. wow this is so easy to push and pull. and it's

cleaning beautifully. look at that. the navigator is definitely built to handle pet hair. let me get that for you. i guess amy really loves using the navigator. yeah. he's not getting this one back. well, you've seen it for yourself. america put the shark navigator to the test and it came through with flying colors. that's because shark is dedicated to providing you with faster, smarter ways to clean, with products that are innovative, easy to use and affordable. you know the beauty of the navigator is that it truly delivers on the promise. we've shown you how light weight the navigator is yet it still delivers amazing cleaning power. you've also seen how easy the navigator is to

anncr (v.o.): this show is brought to you by the united healthcare insurance company, the proud provider of aarp

medicare supplement insurance plans. susan: navigating through the medicare system is very, very difficult; it's confusing, unless you have somebody to give you some guidance. janice: i'm 64 and in april i'll be 65 so i've been doing a lot of reading up to try and decide lillian: it's not something that you can just decide on a moment's notice. susan: medicare is not adequate to cover all medical costs burt:.there are certain services that still are not fully covered by medicare tommy: .i personally think that health is the most important thing that a person can have, regardless of what else, and if you are going to talk about your health, my health, cost is not all that important. anncr (v.o.): if you're turning 65 soon, are medicare-eligible, or you're already age 65 or over but haven't signed up for medicare. or, even if you've already enrolled in a medicare

supplement plan. we have important information for you. understanding medicare today in the following program you'll discover how medicare supplement insurance plans. .can help you keep your own doctors, select any specialist you prefer, and help pay the 20% of your medical expenses not covered by medicare part b. music comes down (to hostess) he: hello donna. (to camera) she: hi bob we're here today to shed some light on the comments you just heard from medicare beneficiaries. to help you through the confusion about medicare and the coverage options available once you turn 65. she: that's right bob. medicare is very complex. in fact, as one person just mentioned, it can be downright confusing. working through all the available options can be overwhelming without any help. he: i'll be eligible myself in just a few years, and with the help of the good people behind aarp medicare supplement insurance plans, i have familiarized myself with all the many choices available. she: and, my parents will be eligible for medicare soon, so i wanted to help them through the process.

today, bob and i will be passing along everything we've learned about medicare coverage, to you! he: thanks to the federal medicare program, tens of millions of americans can get the health care they need. but it's not automatic. you must sign up for it when you become eligible - typically when you turn 65. as donna just said, you have many choices. he (v.o.): and, the decisions you make are important ones. over the course of this program we'll be visiting with medicare recipients from all around the country - ordinary people just like you - who've already gone through this process on their own. she (v.o.): as you will see, people across the nation have similar concerns, needs and hopes. we'll do our best to clarify the most common misconceptions and introduce the choices available once you are medicare eligible. she: according to this guide, you shouldn't "wait 'til later" to make your decisions, as you may have fewer choices available to you if you wait. if you are approaching 65 soon, you should find out about medicare now!

he: so, your first decision is whether or not you want medicare when you turn 65. once you're eligible you must sign up, enrollment doesn't happen automatically. she (v.o.): .something i keep telling my parents. he (v.o.): that's good. lets begin with an overview of medicare basics and then we'll get the opinions from the man [she interrupting "and woman! "] on the street he (v.o.): generally speaking, medicare consists of four parts - part a and part b, plus part d which is an optional prescription drug insurance plan, and. she: [interrupting] you skipped part c. .a, b [pause] d. what happened to c? he: as for part c, i will get to that. it's also called medicare advantage. these plans are issued by private companies and offer the benefits of medicare parts a and b coverage. she: i guess that's where it gets "complicated. " and that was a key concern for my parents, as it is for many others. while medicare part a and part b are a great help, they do not cover everything. he: that's right.

part a was intended to help with hospital costs but can leave you with a deductible to pay. part b has a deductible too, and then covers 80% of approved services like doctor visits and outpatient surgeries, leaving you to pay the other 20%. he (v.o.): that could cost you more than a thousand dollars out-of-pocket if you were hospitalized. if you can't afford that, or prefer more predictable out-of-pocket expenses, you'll probably want some additional coverage. and you have choices. she (v.o.): if you choose the first path, part a gives you help with hospital costs, part b helps with physician care and outpatient care. he (v.o.): after you enroll in parts a and b, you can add a medicare supplement insurance plan. these plans cover many of the costs left not covered by medicare part a and b. she (v.o.): and, if you want to keep your current doctors, a medicare supplement plan may be the choice for you. he: good point. she: the other path, referred to as part c, also called medicare advantage plans, are typically structured like hmos, approved by medicare and run by private companies.

medicare advantage plans may require you to stay in a network or restrict you to a list of preferred physicians. he (v.o.): and medicare advantage plans, like parts a and b, typically have co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles. she: let's back up a bit. let's see if people around the country know the difference between medicare part a and part b? michael: one covers doctors, the other covers hospital, but i'm not sure which is which. i think a is the hospitals and b is the doctors. he: that's right! she (o.c.): part a provides help with inpatient hospital costs. part b helps with doctor's services and outpatient care. he (o.c.): the key point is this: people need to know medicare parts a and b alone don't cover everything. she: but aren't we getting ahead of our story again? he: yes, we should discuss who's even eligible for medicare. she: good point! let the people speak. he: do you know what's required to be eligible for medicare? sue: yes, 65 and have social security or have a

spouse that has social security. he: you're eligible to join medicare when you are one, 65 years of age. two, are a u.s. citizen or permanent resident, and three, you or your spouse has paid social security taxes for at least 10 years. he: some people under 65 with certain disabilities are also eligible for medicare. she: according to this free guide - you can enroll up to three months before your sixty-fifth birthday and three months after. so, you have a seven-month window around your birthday. she (o.c.): if you meet all the federal eligibility requirements part a is available to you at no cost and part b requires a premium that is deducted from your social security check. anncr (v.o.): call now to find out more about aarp medicare supplement insurance plans. you will get a personalized rate quote and a complete information kit with the materials you need to help you make a smart, informed decision. if you're turning 65 or older, or medicare-eligible,

get this free information kit and medicare guidebook. it will help you navigate today's complex health care environment. as an aarp member you would be part of a group plan which means you will get group rates that are competitive. this means you'll join 2.8 million aarp medicare supplement insurance plan holders who have turned to unitedhealthcare for their insurance needs. you need to be an aarp member to enroll, but you don't need to be a member to get this free information kit or compare rates. so, call now! he: okay, let's get back to where we left off. if you want additional coverage beyond medicare part a and part b. which path do you want to take? she (o.c.): just to be clear, you must first enroll in both a and b before you can apply for any additional coverage, like a medicare supplement plan. so we should review what these parts cover before we move on. he (o.c.): michael, you knew the difference between part a and part b, do you know the deductibles for them too? michael: to tell you the truth i don't.

no, i don't. she (o.c.): let me clarify. before part a and part b start paying a share of your hospital and physician costs, you must first pay your deductibles. he (o.c.): in 2009, the deductibles were $1, 068 for part a and $135 for part b. that means, a single night's stay in a hospital with only medicare part a coverage, could cost you over a thousand dollars. she: that's why many people add coverage. like the aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. a medicare supplement plan limits your out-of-pocket costs and helps pay for some approved costs not paid by medicare parts a and b. she: medicare supplement insurance can help cover some or all of these expenses in medicare parts a and b that could cost you up to thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses. he: medicare was never intended to cover everything. and, relying only on medicare could leave you with a lot of

out-of-pocket expenses. james: it covers 80%, it doesn't cover the full amount, so you either have to have your own health insurance or medicare supplemental insurance to cover the additional 20%. he (o.c.): so in your opinion is supplement insurance a necessity? james: oh, it is a good deal. i mean with health insurance costs somebody paying 80%, that's pretty good. but it doesn't cover 100%. he: that means you are not covered for 20% of part b expenses that could amount to thousand of dollars in out-of-pocket costs. she: but medicare parts a and b were clearly not designed to cover everything. that's why a medicare supplement plan is important. corwin: it picks up where the other leaves off. she: so in your opinion, it's worth the added expense? corwin: absolutely. nancy: definitely. (same time) he: and, medicare supplement insurance plans don't just cover your out-of-pocket costs. these plans also let you choose your own doctors, do not require referrals for specialists,

and your benefits travel with you nationwide. she: and, when compared to medicare alone, it provides you better protection against unexpected medical costs that can happen to any of us she: . there are other solutions and everyone needs to decide what best suits their situation. he: unitedhealthcare offers medicare supplement insurance plans that carry the aarp name. but as you said.. he (o.c.): ...the right decision for you depends upon your own needs and your individual budget. lillian (v.o.): coming out of retirement and starting to research, again my background was with health benefits. . it's not something you can just decide on a moment's notice. lillian (v.o.): there are a lot of comparisons and of course, all of the supplemental insurance companies are very helpful, always willing to send a package or a brochure on their coverage. he: can you tell me what your plan is? lillian: . it's unitedhealthcare. i'm very well satisfied with it. tommy: i have for the past 18 years been on aarp and

unitedhealthcare. 18 years, i've had 3 major operations, numerous other ailments, and i have never paid a dime. .that's why i'm sitting here. because i am thoroughly pleased with them. he: can you tell us about your medicare coverage? selma: i am on a and b he: just to review what we've already covered, can you tell me the difference between a and b? lillian: your part a would be coverage for hospital and the bills related to a hospital stay, your part b would be the doctor's office. he: right. part a helps pay for hospital costs and part b covers about 80% of approved physician and outpatient costs. and you must enroll in both a and b before you can apply for any additional coverage. carol: it supplements medicare. medicare pays and then it comes behind and picks up what is not paid of the medicare approved bill.

he: it is important to remember that the medicare program was never intended to pay for everything, and it serves many people very well. perhaps we should explain in more detail some of the reasons people choose to add supplemental coverage. she (o.c.): generally speaking, and depending upon the plan, a medicare supplement can help people avoid some or all of the costs that part a and part b don't cover. he (o.c.): things like deductibles, co-pays and excess provider charges, some preventive services, additional days in the hospital after you've used up your part a benefits and other benefits depending on the plan. she: and, as i keep reminding my own parents, they'll have the freedom to see their own doctors because they don't have to worry about networks or referrals with a medicare supplement plan. there are many medicare supplement insurance plans to choose from. basically there are twelve standardized plans available designated by the letters a through l in most states. he: these letters have no relationship to medicare part a, b, c and d.

she: the a through l medicare supplement plans vary in how they fill the various holes in medicare part a and part b coverage. letting you choose the plan that best covers your individual needs and budget. he: these medicare supplement policies are not government benefits like part a and part b. they are insurance policies available from private companies like unitedhealthcare. she: and it's nice to know that unitedhealthcare offers a wide range of plans. he: you are guaranteed the right to buy a medicare supplement plan during your open enrollment period - the six months following your 65th birthday and enrollment in part b. she: your policy can never be cancelled as long as you pay your premiums when they are due. he: you can pick the plan that best suits you. she: medicare supplement plans let you apply at any time with no closed periods. and you can drop or change your medicare supplement policy whenever you like. she: so with all these choices, you're probably wondering where to turn for advice. aarp is one suggestion- you can call or go online

if you're turning 65 or older, or medicare-eligible, get this free information kit and medicare guidebook. it will help you navigate today's complex health insurance environment. and then feel great about making your own smart, informed decision. you need to be an aarp member to enroll, but you don't need to be a member to get this free information kit or compare rates. so, call now! he: welcome back. earlier in the show we explained that part a helps pay for hospital costs and part b covers about 80% of approved physician and outpatient costs. she: and you must enroll in both a and b before you can apply for any additional coverage. but, i think everyone is pretty clear about medicare part a and b at this point, but we have barely touched on part c. he (o.c.): medicare part c plans are usually referred to as "medicare advantage" plans. while congress added these plans to give medicare participants more choices, medicare advantage plans are issued by private companies, and offer part a and part b coverage. these plans may have co-payments,

and the terms of coverage and benefits can change from year to year. nancy: it seems like each company offered something a little bit more, something a little bit different and until you put it all together and decide what your own needs are and where you're going to fit the best, it can get very confusing. she: but one of the biggest differences is this: typically, many medicare advantage plans restrict you to a network where you are limited to the physicians in that "service area". while medicare supplement plans allow you to keep your own doctor or choose any physician who accepts medicare patients. he (o.c.): and you don't need a referral to see a specialist. deanne: i don't want to be told who could be your physician . ann: .i just feel very uncomfortable needing to use a doctor that someone else has chosen martin: .if my primary doctor tells me that i have to see so and so, well i'm not playing games. why do i need a referral when my main doctor told me you've got

to have this done or that done. so it's a pain. he: people generally seem to feel very strongly about choosing their own doctors and specialists. she: .and, most medicare advantage plans have network restrictions that limit yo choices. for example you might not be covered if you need to see a doctor for routine care while outside your service area or network. important to retirees who travel extensively. he: but even with network restrictions, medicare advantage plans may still be right for some people. it's important that everyone do his or her own homework. there is not one choice that is right for every person, situation or medical need. robert (v.o.): to me that's the most important, feature of the plan. that i have complete freedom. .wherever i were to go, i've got, what i believe to be, complete coverage. robert (v.o.): .i've got a, plan which i think the price is right. and, ah, it doesn't have the limitations . robert (v.o.): it's like a no-brainer. . and i'm not concerned about, any additional payments, out of pocket.

she: but, you do get a competitive group rate if you go with a group plan, like the one offered by unitedhealthcare that carries the aarp name. robert: .i was satisfied that i was getting the right product. deanne: some friends and i did a lot of reading and i took the booklet and made a decision, you know, which one's the best plan for me. he: we started to discuss the differences between medicare supplement insurance and medicare part c, also called medicare advantage plans. she: i think some people may still be confused about the names. he: let's see. pat: .part c maybe, no virginia: no, part d is that the, uh, supplement, the, uh, uh, medicine? she: an aarp medicare supplement plan can be paired with medicare part d prescription drug coverage, to give you more complete coverage. margie: i know what d is. well, d is the government plan, i believe, for your drug coverage.

jim: i'm not familiar with c. margie: i'm not really familiar with c either. he: medicare supplement plans are not "a letter thing" but can be purchased on top of medicare to fill some of the costs not covered by medicare parts a and b. part c is another name for medicare advantage plans. these plans are purchased from private companies and offer the benefits of part a and b, along with additional coverage, and may include deductibles and co-pays of their own. she: and these two choices have distinct differences. for instance, the unitedhealthcare insurance plan we've already mentioned is a medicare supplement plan. burt: people don't comprehend fully what the limitations of medicare are . susan: medicare is not adequate to cover all medical costs, especially for people who are just on social security. she: medicare supplement plans don't cover everything but they can help cover most, or all, of your out-of-pocket expenses.

lillian: coverage between medicare and the statement that you get for services rendered. he (o.c.): great answer lillian. she: as you may recall from earlier in our show, medicare supplement plans cover some of the out-of-pocket expenses if you have part a and part b only. such as coverage for deductibles and up to 20% co-pays for approved doctor's services. judy: it was not price, it was what the insurance policy encompassed, and i looked at my ability to go to whatever doctor i wanted. he: generally speaking medicare supplement plans offer you the assurance of monthly premiums and, depending on which plan you choose, some may cover the co-pays or co-insurance for every time you go to the doctor. she: because most medicare advantage plans charge co-pays for each doctor visit, these fees can really start to add up if you visit the doctor often. this is something that concerns my mom.

he: depending on the medicare supplement plan chosen, this could significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs from medicare part a and b. she: how do you feel about your plan? selma: every year they change the formula. this year, i have no payment to see a physician, my primary care physician. but if i were to see a specialist, i believe it's 30 dollars, my co-pay. she: depending on the medicare supplement plan chosen, you may be able to get help with some of the co-pays and co-insurance not paid by medicare. anncr (v.o.): call now to find out more about aarp medicare supplement insurance plans. you will get a personalized rate quote and a complete information kit with the materials you need to help you make a smart, informed decision. if you're turning 65 or older, or medicare-eligible, get this free information kit and medicare guidebook. it will help you navigate today's complex health care environment. as an aarp member you would be part of a group plan which means

so, when my parents visit they wouldn't be covered if they needed a specialist for a non-emergency service. he: can anyone describe an hmo? alison: an hmo is a health maintenance organization where you have one physician who directs the care and you have contracts with certain hospitals and certain groups of physicians that you have to work within, you can't go off and choose. she: one type of medicare advantage plan is basically an hmo. you are generally limited to a service area and must select your doctors from within their network. adrian: it's important to me to be able to choose the doctors that i want julie: i like my independence. i like to investigate my own doctors and decide who i feel would give me the best care. she: i want to clarify another important point: both medicare advantage and medicare supplement plans cover you in the event of an emergency, but if you spend a lot of time traveling, or have a second home,

you may not be covered for routine care with medicare advantage plans because of their network restrictions. carole: . you know, you have to take some responsibility for yourself. you can't expect, you know, the hmo's to take care of you totally. he (v.o.): true. but as you can imagine, that "responsibility" may be restricting your vacations if you require frequent doctor visits. and when you are retired, travel is one of the things you don't want to restrict. knowing my medicare supplement plan benefits will travel with me nationwide will certainly be important when i retire. she: to my parents, too. they are snowbirds. with a medicare supplement plan they will be covered coast-to-coast if they get sick while traveling. carole: we don't get sick. we're down here where we relax and do healthful things and stay well. and then we go home in the summer and get sick. he: [laughs] waiting until you get home to get sick is not exactly an option for the average person. [laughs again] many of us want coverage that travels with us wherever we go, nationwide.

she: and speaking of going, it is time for us to sign off bob, thanks for joining us. he: and we hope you have found this program has helped you better understand medicare and your health insurance options. anncr (v.o.): medicare is a great program that serves tens of millions of americans. but it doesn't cover everything. and, the cost of health care has continued to rise in recent years. these things make medicare supplement insurance more important than ever. finding the right coverage can be very challenging. why not call for your free information kit and medicare guide. and find out about the range of aarp medicare supplement plans available to you from unitedhealthcare insurance company. call today to find the right plan for your individual needs. is it important to you to choose your own doctor? does the phrase "no referrals needed" sound good to you? are you looking for competitive rates? learn why these medicare supplement plans are the choice of millions of people who know and trust the aarp medicare supplement plans for their health care needs. aarp medicare supplement plans, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company help to cover some of the medical expenses not paid by medicare alone.
