In the world of healthcare publishing, accuracy isn’t optional — it’s a public trust obligation.
Medicare information affects people’s health decisions, financial stability, and peace of mind. It falls under Google’s Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) category — and it must meet the highest possible standards of Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
Here’s how I apply these principles across MedicareWire, MedicareGraph, and all public-facing Medicare information initiatives:
What YMYL Means for Medicare Information
- Health choices influenced by Medicare plans can determine access to doctors, hospitals, prescription drugs, and vital services.
- Financial costs tied to Medicare premiums, deductibles, and plan structures can impact seniors’ life savings and quality of life.
- Errors, biases, omissions, or misleading content in Medicare publishing are not just mistakes — they are real threats to people’s lives.
How I Translate YMYL Into Public Trust Standards
| Standard | My Commitment |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | All plan data and benchmark figures are sourced from CMS datasets or validated first-party sources. |
| Freshness | CMS cost updates (Part B premiums, Part D deductibles, TrOOP thresholds) are integrated annually and publicly documented. |
| Transparency | Structured publishing with JSON-LD Schema ensures clear data provenance for both users and machines. |
| Authorship | Every page is authored, reviewed, and maintained by me — David Bynon — a verified Medicare analyst and public trust advocate. |
| Public Trust | Commercial interests never override transparency, clarity, or user-first priorities. We serve seniors, caregivers, and healthcare publishers first — always. |
YMYL Standards Are Not Guidelines — They Are Orders
In my view, YMYL standards are not advisory. They are operational orders for anyone publishing healthcare or financial information.
I operate all Medicare projects under a clear Public Trust Protocol to ensure every piece of information meets or exceeds YMYL expectations.
Closing Statement
When it comes to Medicare information, mistakes can cost lives.
My mission is to ensure they never do.
