    Just turned 65 and was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of information that came in the mail and my InBox about Medicare. One piece stood out. Layton offered to come to my home and help me figure it out. Best decision I have made since retirement. Layton explained all of the options and compared Medicare Advantage to the supplements. He also figured out the best drug plan.
    I can’t say enough good things about Layton and his company. Highly recommended.
    Thanks!!!

    Layton Bourhill is a conscientious agent who did a lot of work to get me into a Medicare Advantage and Part D plan that will help me save money for the new year 2025. I was paying an outrageous amount for health care insurance and it didn't even pay for OTC drugs or Silver Sneakers! Now I can rest be assured that I will get the same coverage and even better than the Plan F Supplemental insurance I had prior.

Find out how Bankers Life long-term care insurance can offer you or a loved one the flexibility and independence you deserve. Someone may need long-term care if they can no longer perform activities of daily living on their own (such as eating, bathing, dressing, or taking medications). These assisted care needs usually arise as part of the normal aging process, but can also occur as a result of injury, illness, or cognitive impairment. Long-term care can be costly and Medicare may not cover many of the expenses. Long-term care insurance pays benefits for assisted care services received at a facility or at home

One risk that many may overlook is sequence risk, which occurs when you face poor market returns early in retirement while you’re drawing down your savings.
