Your commenters are not well informed. There is a reason ~50% of Medicare recipients freely choose Medicare Advantage—Blue Cross and all the other secondary insurers screw them. It will cost you almost $300 a month for your supplemental policy. It’ll cost you nothing for an advantage plan. I just had my cataracts operated under my Advantage plan. I paid a total of $200, $100 per eye. And I should pay Blue Cross $300 a month for what?I’d be happy with traditional Medicare if they cut out the outrageous “co-insurance”. Increase my Medicare Part B by $50/month and we’d all go back, at least most of us because we wouldn’t have to get the mother-may-I referral every time we see the specialist. Medicare is a very good thing. Offer it to everyone like the Advantage plans and see over 50% of those under 65s rush into it. No $10,000 deductibles like employer plans. No prior auths. You would essentially have a national health plan and no one would be forced to use it. They’d rush into it.
