  • Highland's Heroes - Medicare Open Enrollment Changes, Veterans First & Protecting Your Future
    2026/10/11

    Join host Patrick Highland and AJ Redd on Highland's Heroes for urgent guidance as Medicare open enrollment approaches. Patrick warns that several insurance plans are being discontinued and urges listeners—especially those with family on Medicare—to call now and review coverage, doctors, hospitals, prescriptions, and benefits before changes take effect. He explains special enrollment periods triggered by events like hurricanes and walks through practical steps for veterans using Tricare, VA, or Champus, including one-time Part B waivers.

    The conversation also stresses America First priorities: supporting veterans battling PTSD and high suicide rates, sensible immigration and assimilation, and common-sense financial planning. Patrick highlights the power of compounding interest, the Rule of 72, and why seniors should protect principal rather than chase high-risk investments. Midterm elections, media bias, and everyday economic pressures round out a practical, no-nonsense episode.

    Whether you’re reviewing Medicare options, helping a veteran, or securing long-term financial peace of mind, this show delivers clear action steps.
