I went to a free Medicare seminar and it felt like a timeshare pitch. Are any of those events actually helpful?

A good Medicare Information Session will explain all aspects of Medicare and the types of plans. If they are focusing on one plan, it's a marketing lecture.
You need to have an agent who will sit down and discuss your health problems, medications, and doctors and help you find the plan that is best for you.

You can get your medicare coverage in different ways. Whether that be just using Original Medicare A/B, a Medicare Supplement / Medigap plan or a Medicare advantage plan.

If you look at it as free education from an industry expert it can be very useful.
I approach these seminars as educational and strive to have those that attend be much better informed on their options

That said, a lot of seminars out there do feel like timeshare pitches. They're often run by agents tied to just one insurance company, so the information is limited and sales-heavy. That doesn’t mean all events are bad — the key is finding one that puts education first.
What to look for:
Hosted by an independent broker, no heavy branding from a specific insurance carrier, focuses on Medicare in general (not just one plan), & no pressure to enroll — just helpful info to get you informed.
If it checks those boxes, it’s probably worth your time!
