You cannot decide which insurance is primary and which is secondary. Their is nothing you can do to determine this. Within each policy it specifies when each policy is primary or secondary. With Medicare, it is always going to be secondary to insurance provided by an employer or retirement plan.

Secure Horizons Medicare is a good plan, but it is not as good as Medicare supplements.

Can you change your secondary insurance to primary insurance if your coverage is better with the secondary insurance?

In most cases no. You can not chage due to better coverage. 90% of insurance companies, if not more, have what is called a birthday rule. Meaning if you have dependant children on the policy the guardian who was born first (or who is older) is the primary carrier for the dependant children and the younger of the two guardians is the secondary carrier. If you were to have coverage through yourself and a spouse you would be your own primary, as would your spouse be their own primary. If you are the carrier for both insurances then it would all depend on your plan provisions and restrictions, in which case you would have to question each insurance company as to how they would handle determining what insurance is primary and what insurance is secondary.


If your spouse who is not the primary insurance carrier makes a change over the phone is there a waiting period before it goes into effect?

Not usually. The majority of insurance companies accept the change valid at the time of the request. Even if it changes the premium amount.

How will ObamaCare affect senior citizens?

An unknown amount (but probably small). Most Senior Citizens already qualify for Medicare, and this will not change. Those purchasing additional insurance from an insurance company may likely see changes, though what those changes (particularly in cost) are is impossible to generally predict.
