What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?
I'm turning 65 and keep hearing both terms. How do I decide?

Medicare Advantage (Part C) bundles your coverage through a private plan, often with networks and extra benefits. Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works alongside Original Medicare to help cover out-of-pocket costs and lets you see any provider that accepts Medicare. The right fit depends on your doctors, prescriptions, budget, and travel. An independent agent can compare the specific plans they represent with you.
