OK, so in reply to that post about plans costing big bucks I should have said Advantagemental not Suplemental plans that cost $0.
Again, you are talking about essentially Part B, whether through original Medicare or an Advantage program. And the subsidy that companies got for offering Advantage Plans are going away so that many companies will be either charging additional for the Advantage plan, like the 20% deductible that Medicare doesn't cover, or getting out of writing such plans.
For most fulltimers, basic Medicare plus a supplemental and part D work the best. For snowbirders, I guess it depends. And why this thread isn't in the Snowbird Forum is beyond me?
