I'm in the midst of a much bigger fight with the insurance to pay for hospitals and doctors that are not on my plan.

My advice to anyone that can afford it.....(once 65).....stay with original Medicare and get a medigap (secondary) to pick up the overage. It is so worth it if something unexpected happens.
