Medicare itself is easy and can be done on line. Just Medicare leaves
you open to a lot of costs for the other 20% not covered.


You have choices for supplements. Plan F is best but may be
discontinued but Plan G is next best. You will pay about $200 to $225 a
month for it but coverage is excellent. No co-pays and any doctor you
want. Choice depends on your health and tolerance to deductibles.

I see others are touting Medicare Advantage plans. Be careful. There
are a lot of deductibles and co-pays. A co-worker was bragging how much
money they save with it. Husband got sick and needed a $400/month
medication not covered. Its a crap shoot.

OTOH, one of my wife's hospital stays was over $200K and my cost was $0
with a United Healthcare plan F supplement.

Like I said, do you feel lucky?
