    <description>Health insurance shouldn't feel like a puzzle you have to solve alone. On Health Insurance Today, Bill Paschall of Paschall Health Insurance draws on over 20 years in the business to break down the coverage questions people actually ask — from Medicare choices and open enrollment deadlines to individual and family plans, and what to do when life changes your coverage needs. Each episode cuts through the jargon with straight talk and practical guidance, so you can make confident decisions about your health coverage. Whether you're turning 65, self-employed, or just trying to understand your options, Bill is here to help you get it right.</description>
