Do I need a Medicare Supplement Plan?

00:00 intro
05:07 What people DON'T tell you about Medicare Supplement Insurance

I like traditional medicare and medigap. After my initial $300 deductible, I can see any doctor and never have to worry about paying a bill. If I have something that bothers me, I never have to think if its worth seeing a doctor, I just go.

Best thing I ever did! Yes, it cost money every month. Bout at 72, I ended up in two hospitals ICU’s.cosy a fortune. Then I. Hospital #2 I had a surgery that was $100, 000. My medigap paid for Oh my gosh! Can you imagine how much it would have been on an advantage plan!!

At the time I was preparing to retire at age 66, I became ill with covid. I was still covered by my employer insurance. When I returned to work after covid, I became I'll again. Due to being off so long my insurance lapsed. I officially retired and signed up for SSI and Medicare plan B. I had signed up for plan A as soon as it was available at age 65. The second illness was kidney cancer that was discovered while I was in my open enrollment period. I quickly selected a Supplemental plan, and was I ever happy! It covered everything including an additional year of follow up immunotherapy with Katruda. I saved thousands of dollars every 90 days of follow up therapy! My Supplemental plan cost me about $95 a month! So don't gamble with your health or finances!

I have Plan F and in 7 years ( two in-patient surgeries, 2 colonoscopies, 2 outpatient surgeries, 4 MRIs, and assorted office visits) I've spent more on the premiums that the 20% of Medicare it has covered.
I am overjoyed to be healthy enough to say that. I can afford Plan F and it just bakes my healthcare into my costs like property taxes and the electric bill.

Medicare (original) pays 80% of the Dr bill, but does the testing get all paid, and not part of the 80%? TY for all the good information you post for people !!

Excellent information & presentation!

So it’s basically crap insurance that we’ve been paying into and have to pay for when we get older? And if you want any good coverage you have to buy another policy. Welcome to America. Ew.
