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.
