MA is real insurance. Medicare pays the insurance company a monthly premium, and they have to cover all your medical expenses, less co-pays. They can't go back to Medicare for more money.
With a MA plan you assume some additional risk up to your out-of-pocket limit. Drugs, under all Medicare plans have separate out-of-pocket risk.
MA works for us because we don't consume much in the way of medical care, and can afford the out-of-pocket risk if something happened.

For my insurance, I'd take either one right now. I'm under 65 and my BC/BS policy is going up to $657/month with a $6300 deductible.. Thank you, 111th congress and prez # 44.
