That's why if you choose certain supplements, you pay nothing out of pocket unless you have to have medical attention. Works great as long as you're healthy, and stay healthy. :)
My wife and I secure our 65+ health care coverage a little differently.
We have an ADVANTAGE PLAN. That is part C in your medicare booklet.
We contract with Highmark BlueCross/Blue Shield for our coverage and the government pays Highmark for our plan. Our plan also includes drug coverage. In 2015 the cost to Highmark was LESS than the governments reimbursement by $6. SO WE EACH RECEIVE $6 MORE A MONTH IN OUR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT! I have friends that also have the same plan. Works great and is very cost effective.
