I had questions about this so I just Googled it. Congress has mandated that Plans C and F will not be available for new applicants starting in 2020 because C and F pay the yearly deductible to the provider. In its infinite wisdom Congress has mandated that if the patient is forced to pay the deductible every year, he or she will think twice before going to the doctor, thereby lessening the strain to the Medicare system. To me, that doesn't mean that supplemental insurance will not be available, it's just that new enrollees will not have C or F as options.
