Two of us dove in did months of research, got bamboozled on the first try (most 1st timers wouldn't know that happens) until we finally got it done. (Thanks Ariadne here on city-data).
3. Everyone is doing the best they can. When we know better we (try and) do better
4. For some people this may be the first time they've ever had (or taken care of this themselves) their own health insurance. This is true for some in my family, a lifetime of no health insurance until Medicare

I am bombarded with invitations to join Medicare Advantage but no dice.
I wish the process were simpler.
