Yes. It costs about as much to cover the last 20% as my Medicare
premium, but if you have a big expense (heart surgery, for instance)
you're way ahead of the game for a long time.

Thanks for giving me yet another piece of shit to worry about. Why
would this be a Republican policy rather than a Dem? Medigap is already
private.

They seem to think that advantage plans make huge money for the
insurance company, so they are good. The advantage plans cost Medicare
more than regular Medicare because their costs end up being higher, and
they passed laws to require Medicare to make up the difference to try to
get insurance companies to participate.

By the way, if you haven't looked at the plan G, the only difference
between it and the F is that it doesn't cover the Part B deductible of
$185, but it costs maybe $300 less.

The less they treat more patients, the more money they make. I think I
can decide when I'm being over- or under-treated, and I don't want
"under" to be the default.

When Pelosi was negotiating Obamacare, she talked to all the providers
and none of the recipients.

Plan G was what I opted for from AARP United Healthcare. All this depends on
what state you live in but the same plan from BC/BS was $10 more per month in
my state than the AARP plan.

Cheapest for me in Seattle was Cigna.

Funny you should mention Cigna! I got a letter from them last week wanting
me to switch to their plan G. It was close to a dollar higher than what I'm
presently paying here in Nashville.

That's usually the case, just prior to a recession.

So far, sadly , it's Trump. The rest with the exception of Biden
are clueless socialist that would wreck the economy. And now that
Biden has the staggering problem with his son and Urkaine and China,
he's not going to be the nominee. He also has some obvious mental
impairment that's not getting better. I would bet that the Democrat
nominee will be someone who hasn't entered the race yet. As Trump
falters, I think it's very possible that some wealthy Democrat that
has enough money to be able to run, eg Bloomberg, will enter the race.
Hillary is also restarting her engine.
