Medicare Plans

I still work full-time and have employer benefits, do I still need to sign up for Medicare? When should I sign up for Medicare and how do I do that? What’s the difference between a Medicare Supplement and a Medicare Advantage plan? How do I figure out which one is right for me? What’s IRMAA? 

Health Insurance

My child is turning 26 and cannot remain on my employer plan, can you help? I was let go from my job and am losing my health coverage. Am I better off choosing Cobra?
