I agree with this completely. However, in your (Sheldons) situation.....if you had a Medicare advantage at the time, wouldn't the out of pocket max (which I'm assuming would have been met) been (or equal to) the monthly payments of a secondary (medigap) policy?

I'm trying to make a change and trying to figure out the best way to go.
