Be very careful with the low cost Medicare Advantage plans as typically the low cost ones come with very high deductibles. If you're healthy and don't see the doctor frequently the low cost plans can save you money, but be careful.
This is good advice! We have a friend that had $0 plan and went to the hospital for a routine procedure. While there he contracted a staph infection that extended his stay another 8-9 days. He is now paying off a $60,000 hospital bill. Not fun when you are over 65 and don't have a job!!
