I've had Medicare for three years now. With a good
supplement, it is a good deal. For two of us, my
premiums are $683 a month.

Hmmm...I've had Medicare for 15 years. I have no supplement - don't need
one, have a Medicare Advantage plan - so my premiums are $0. Moreover, my
plan returns the Medicare part "B" premium that is deducted from one's
social security; that is about $200 for the two of us so I am better than
$10,000 a year up on you

My wife had surgery in April. Total billing so far is
over $100k and still going on. Premiums aside, my total
out of pocket is $0.

Fortunately, we have never had need of such, sorry you have. If we did, we
would be spending some; however, the cost to us would be around $4000 per
year.

We do have a $20 co-pay for specialists, $0 for the primary care physician.
I take a drug for cholesterol, two for high blood pressure and one to ward
off glaucoma; they cost us $0 or very close to it.
