So far my Advantage plan has worked out just fine. It’s a PPO that has a lot of doctors and support.

Original Medicare and a plan G! You can’t go wrong!

[@SeniorLivingOrg]

Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Thank you, Jeff for sharing this information!! I always, have a funny feeling about those Medicare Commercials!! I don't trust them!!

[@zsigzsag]

Who listens to commercials? I do everything in my power to block them. I research all plans (Medicare.gov) to see points of what they cover and what they don't. The so called "perks" are not a priority. I have a strict criteria of what I want in a plan. Then I discuss it with my broker to sign up with the best one for me.

[@SeniorLivingOrg]

You are so welcome!

Great to see you . Can you please address what happens if Medicaid drops you or if the policy is not renewed? Medicare is deducting from Social Security now without notice. What can I do about that? My check is getting smaller and smaller by the month because they feel entitled to charge me for Medicare Part B. Thank you so much

[@HoLeeFoc]

If you have other monthly income besides social security, then these other medicare plans that cost $250 and above per month, may be the best alternative for you. Not so much for those who are on tight budgets and have social security as their sole source of monthly income.

Thanks for weighing in.

And now if we could just keep them from scanning our phones when I bring my husband to the doctor and calling us relentlessly . My husband made just over.
His his social security to keep from ending up in medicaid as well. And now that he actually needs it for his dialysis. I have been waiting 2 months and literally bringing them my life story. Because we never joined any of those plans.They wouldn't cover his bipolar medication so it's a catch twenty two we Need to Start eating right and stop taking their poison medicine.And maybe we won't need their poison insurance either
