MY QUESTION: for medicare users: what's some good EXTRA insurance?

I keep hearing horror-stories about medicare refusing to cover things.

Worse even, I keep hearing horror-stories about doctors (especially
specialists)
*refusing* to take medicare patients. (Don't get paid enough?)

So, what's a GOOD place to get some EXTRA coverage?



Someone suggested AARP, but then someone else said they'd heard that
AARP wasn't so good, that it was too expensive, considering the
benefits you (didn't) get.

Ideas?

THANKS!

My wife and I have used Sterling for that last few years. They have several
plans..something for every budget. As low as $15 per month on top of what
you pay for Medicare (parts A, B, and D) I've used the cheapest with no
problem as I don't use much medicine..My wife about $150 per month for her
plan because of her extensive meds..but then she only has a copay for med on
the most expensive brand name meds. check out www.sterlingplans.com . We
originally signed with them because they were one of only two companies that
wrote supplement plans in Illinois for pre age 65 medicare patients.
