With Seniors in a Financial Pinch and Medicare Changes on the Way, Ari Parker’s New Book, It’s Not That Complicated, Offers Relief to Seniors Struggling to Navigate Medicare

‘It’s Not That Complicated: The Three Medicare Decisions to Protect Your Health & Money’ Launches Today

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the next Medicare Annual Enrollment Period approaches, seniors face a wave of new challenges, including crushing inflation, higher costs of living, and impending changes to Medicare from the Inflation Reduction Act. Seniors have never needed more help in figuring out how to make the most of their Medicare plan selections—both to get the coverage they need and to save as much money as possible.

That’s what motivated Ari Parker to write a new book called It’s Not That Complicated: The Three Medicare Decisions to Protect Your Health & Money, which launches today. Parker, co-founder and lead Medicare Advisor at Chapter, a free-of-charge, consumer-first Medicare advisory company, is a Stanford Law School graduate and Medicare expert. He has personally helped thousands of seniors enroll in Medicare. Parker wrote the book to serve seniors with an actionable guide on how to pick the right healthcare plan for their situation, saving them money, time, and stress.

Parker’s debut book is receiving excellent reviews, including from Donna Shalala, 18th U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services who said, “This is an excellent, comprehensive explanation of the Medicare program.”

In his book, Parker breaks down Medicare into bite-sized chunks, highlighting three key decisions to avoid lifetime penalties, shoddy coverage, and lousy healthcare. The book is available for $3.99 as an e-book and $12.99 as a print book on Amazon. For more information, including how to order the book, visit: https://askchapter.org/ari.

“People think of Medicare as complicated and difficult to navigate,” Parker said. “Too often, they put off taking simple actions that can protect their health and finances. The growing cost of healthcare is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy and a huge problem for Americans approaching retirement, particularly when coupled with inflation. We can help American seniors to do better by their health and their wallets now.”

Over the coming months, Parker will extend the reach of his book’s message with a podcast called Legacy which explores what it means to find meaning and purpose with age.
