So I get billed $800, Medicare pays $27, and I get to pay the rest. I don't see how this is good for me, (unless there's something I don't understand) or the millions of other retirees on fixed incomes who's income doesn't increase because their raises are eaten up by Medicare increases. I'm by no means an expert on these matters (probably boarding on clueless), but this seems to be good only for a minority of retirees. I don't have any figures, but I would guess people without supplements out number those with supplements
