Margaret Linwood is the pen name our editorial team uses for articles on Medicare, Social Security, long-term care, life insurance, estates and the cost of health care after 60. These pieces start from the paperwork people actually get: the Annual Notice of Change, the COLA letter, the itemized hospital bill. Every article is edited by a human editor on the Moneystretching team, who checks its figures, dates and rules against the sources before it is published. Those sources are primary wherever possible, such as CMS, the Social Security Administration and Medicare.gov, along with research from KFF, and each article links them in the text and lists them at the end. Articles published under this name never recommend specific plans or companies, and we do not sell insurance.
