Understanding the personal experiences of individuals in their Medicare subscriptions is important for any healthcare provider. It allows him, not only to be able to assess the individual’s needs and capabilities, but also help in the overall improvement of the health program. Accordingly, I conducted this interview in order to further learn about the intricacies, strengths, and weaknesses of the Medicare program from the perspective of individual users. After conducting the interview, I realized that while Medicare benefits are very important and necessary for the improvement of one’s access to quality healthcare, there are still some improvements that are left to be done so that it would truly be a beneficial for everyone. Particularly, I was surprised that when a patient avails of its benefits and such times falls under a ‘coverage gap’, the patient would still have to pay around 25% of the sum total of what he needs to pay. This was surprising considering that even though this is a huge discount, there would still be sectors in the population who could still not afford such prices especially for high-cost medications. Nonetheless, by the end of the interview, I realized that such interview is not difficult to conduct. On the one hand, this is because finding a respondent is not too difficult since almost every adult has Medicare programs. On the other hand, this is also because of the fact that most of these adults regularly rely on the program for their healthcare needs, thereby giving them regular and insightful experiences in the program.
