Highland's Heroes: Veterans, the Rays Stadium Deal & Free Insurance Help

Join host Patrick Highland and special guest Darren Grubb of Medicare Advantage Majority for an important conversation about protecting and strengthening Medicare Advantage. With more than 35 million seniors (including over 3 million in Florida) relying on these plans, Darren explains how Medicare Advantage delivers comprehensive, affordable coverage—including dental, vision, hearing, prescription drugs, and out-of-pocket protection—that traditional Medicare often lacks.

They discuss the real-world impact of potential funding cuts, the program’s role as a public-private partnership that controls costs through preventive care, and why seniors and their caregivers view it as both a healthcare and cost-of-living issue. Patrick shares personal stories of helping veterans and families maximize benefits, while Darren outlines how listeners can make their voices heard with members of Congress.

Whether you’re on Medicare Advantage, considering it, or care about a loved one who is, this episode offers clear information and practical ways to stay engaged.
