The Illinois Medicare market

A birthday rule with fine print, where accuracy wins.

Chicago and its suburbs carry the bulk of Medicare demand, while Rockford, Peoria, and Springfield have their own local searches, so each beneficiary trying to use the birthday rule correctly meets the agent whose CMS-aware pages already rank and state the limits plainly.
