I read the 2026 edition of this government-published guide, pretty much the same cover. Finished in time for the Dec. 7th enrollment deadline.

Having edited government documents in the past, the Medicare 2026 deserves reviewer points for being clearly written, with editing and layout supporting readability. Of course, the real damage from HHS and the US government, is going to be done in 2026, so we will see how the 2027 edition shakes out.

Spoiler alert: The heroic guy applying for Medicare, does NOT get the girl, the hidden cache of gold and cash, or the full deductible. Stay tuned for the suspenseful sequel. (3.7-4.1 stars/5.0 stars).

It has a lot of useful information. Most of it is easy to understand. There's a section for explaining what they mean by words like coinsurance, copay, deductible, assignment, etc.
