The Medicare Family is a national, family owned insurance brokerage that specializes in helping seniors find the best Medicare plans in all 50 states. Margaret Gordon, founder of The Medicare Family, grew up in the Amish community outside of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Her love for reading showed her that the was a lot more to the world than her simple life with the Amish. So at age 18, fed up with how things were going, she left the Amish community and set off into the world. For years she worked as a maid to pay the bills before she Richard Gordon and fell in love. Mr. Gordon knew she was ‘the one’ when he first visited her house and saw a copy of his favorite book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, on her table. Fast forward to 1980. Richard Gordon was a successful insurance agent for Washington National insurance company, but he realized that being able to only offer a single product to his clients was doing them a disservice. He and Margaret decided to start their own independent insurance brokerage that would offer plans from 50+ different companies. Year by year they kept expanding. What started as a single office turned into one of the largest distributors of Medicare plans in the nation with thousands of downline insurance agents and hundreds of thousands of clients served. The Gordon’s welcomed their daughter Sylvia into the family business in 1995. Over 10 family members now work in the family business. The Medicare Family became a 3 generation business in 2015 when Richard & Margaret Gordon’s grandson Elliot joined the family business. Read more on our website: www.themedicarefamily.com/our-story
