I'm switching my Medicare Advantage coverage

[Another Bill C.]

from Humana to Medica. Humana started out at $0 per month two years ago, raised it to $28 this year and is raising it to $58 next year. Medica apparently provides the same coverage at $0 additional.

3. Do you have part D coverage?

What are you deductibles and co-pays?

4. According to Dodd's argument today,

Advantage doesn't really provide anything of useful. Did I understand him correctly? Do you think it is useful?

5. What does Advantage offer that Part D doesn't?

Is it worth the extra $$$?

6. I have doubts about Medicare Advantage, a Bush program

designed to benefit private insurance companies.

8. Secure Horizons is still $0

Have had this for 5+ years now. (The premium is what you pay over the regular medicare premium) Get excellent drug coverage-no additional premium-free health club membership and pay $25 per doctor visit. If hospitalized, you are on the hook for the first $2500 per year. After that it is covered.
