Ads sre extra painful during Medicare enrollment season

I never want to see or hear Joe Namath, JJ Walker, or William Devane/Shatner again.

Several ads have the pitchman introduce himself at the beginning, as if it matters because no one except his mother knows who he is.

Now Cranky Martha is back. This ad is so insulting and condescending. It may be some 25-year-old’s notion of what people over 65 are like. A supposedly elderly woman wearing giant glasses from the 1980s is snapping at the voice-over guy, who apparently sees that she's a senile fool who has to be humored, so he keeps telling her to call the magic 800 number. She keeps b•tching at him that she’s not going to make a phone call.

Can’t wait for the enrollment period to be over.

Sadly, you'll have to wait until December 7th. I'm curious whether they need to pay for airtime up front like political ads.

These are all ads from insurance companies, not from actual Medicare, although they try to blur the line.
