Medicare for full timers

I just began full-timing and while in Florida last winter I joined up with a Medicare group that seemed real good. They actually paid my monthly fee to SS and gave me real good service. The fly in the ointment is the fact that they want me to stay in the florida area (their area) at least 6 months out of the year to receive this service. Is this commonplace or what? What do other full timers do?

Some plans let you go anywhere anytime, and others require your to remain in a given area. Some let your travel outside the country, and others will not cover you outside the country. I have heard that some of the AAPR plans are quite popular with full timers who travel all over. Don't know which one cause I am still covered under my wife's work plan. But am researching cause she is coming up on retirement.
