He was an excellent QB but have no interest in listening to him as a salesman.

I thought it was a low point for Joe too...calling it sleazy is actually generous. I often wondered who the heck they thought he'd appeal to as a spokesperson

Super sleazy for these over the hill athletes and TV stars to push a bunch of false advertising.

I don't watch commercials, and when he starts I fastforward. IMO he's very hard to look at, and I 'have a thing' against celebrity endorsements - esp the old ones - no offense. They are all meaningless to me, and simply a method to extend the $$$$train for celebs.

Joe Namath has been doing this Medicare commercial for many years.
For some reason he reminds me of Dracula at first glance.
But yes, Broadway Joe is the man!

He is pushing the Free HMO......no monthly premium, he is not talking about Part B premium paid to Medicare out of your SS
Which is true......most private HMO are at no cost premium, some that have better benefits will come with a premium
I don’t like the commercial but not sure why you think he is lying.
This I know, Medicare this very strict on advertising ALL ads, newsprint, mailings and commercials have to be approved by Medicare and the state. So this has been approved

I thought new enrollment time was October to December. What happened to that policy? Commercials and annoying phone calls happen all year long now.
