		<description>Interesting article. It is very unfortunate that over the last 10 years, the travel industry has already been able to to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, and also the first ever real global economic depression. Through all this the industry has really proven to be solid, resilient and dynamic, acquiring new methods to deal with adversity. There are often fresh difficulties and the opportunity to which the business must again adapt and answer.</description>

		<description>Sounds like you do some good work.  You probably should back away from offering Medicare advice or information other than to steer people to medicare.gov because there appears to some errors on your Medicare page:

For example, you say &quot;Each of the four parts of Medicare coverage pays for specific services if certain conditions are met. Medicare insurance does not cover all health care expenses and Medicare health plans do not pay the full cost for most approved services.&quot;

You really should be more specific abou the services not covered (vision, dental, etc.) and particularly about Medicare&#039;s lack of catastrophic coverage of major healthcare expenses.
 
Under &quot;3. What is Covered by Hospital Insurance (Medicare Part A)?&quot; you say A &quot;helps to cover inpatient care in hospitals&quot; such as... physician fees.&quot; A pays only for inpatient hospital costs where the A beneficiary is admitted, not just observed.  And A typically does not pay physician fees when a beneficiary is in the hospital even if admitted.

You say &quot;This part of Medicare coverage also covers inpatient rehabilitation facilities, long-term care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health care services, and hospice care.&quot; No part of Medicare pays for long-care. The limitations are as noted relative to having no catastrophic coverage and would be exhausted quicily in a long term care facility (not sure what you mean by a long-term care hospital but if you mean nursing home, no there is no coverage in medicare).

Under &quot;4. What is Covered by Medical Insurance (Medicare Part B)?&quot; it is important to note that this is the Part of Medicare that pays for an inpatient hospital stay where the beneficiary is only observed. That is important because the co-pay under B if a person were only observed in a hospital could run to thousands of dollars whereas if admitted the cost would be limited o $1156 per incident.

 
Under &quot;5. What are Medicare Advantage Plans (Medicare Part C)?,&quot; you say &quot;Medicare Advantage Plans are provided by private insurance companies that have contracted with Medicare to provide health care services.&quot; Actually they only provide the insurance, not the health care.  Doctors and hospitals still provide the health care.

You say &quot;A Medicare Advantage Plan includes the three parts of the Medicare program: hospital care, medical care and prescriptions.&quot; Not all Medicare Part C Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage.

Under &quot;6. What is Prescription Drug Coverage (Medicare Part D)?&quot; you say &quot;All Medicare recipients are eligible to receive this coverage by enrolling in a Medicare Drug Plan, a Medicare Advantage Plan, or other Medicare Health Plan.&quot; You should explain what you mean by &quot;other Medicare Health plan?&quot;

Under &quot;7. Does Medicare Cover Preventive Medicine?,&quot; you say &quot;Medicare plans cover a variety of preventive services, such as flu shots, mammograms, and glaucoma tests. Some preventive medicine services are available only once, such as a one-time physical exam.&quot; Medicare does not cover a physical exam.  I believe you are confusing this with what is known as a Welcome to Medicare Wellness Visit, which is not a physical.

Under &quot;9. What is Medicare Supplemental Insurance?&quot; you should say that one cannot get Medigap if one has Medicare Part C. Also the statement, Medigap &quot;plans include more deductibles than Medicare Advantage Plans&quot; is not clear.  Do you mean higher deductibles?  If so, some do and some don&#039;t.</description>
