We prefer the original medicare along with a supplemental plan because there are no restrictions on physicians/specialists one might choose.
Also that there is no geographic restriction, as we do travel quite a bit. By choice many of our major medical requirements, surgeries, rehab have been performed by specialists outside the bubble of TV (and the even smaller medical bubble within TV....not intended as a negative comment just a statement of personal observation).
Over 15 years and our only out of pocket expense has been the premiums for the supplemental and prescription coverage. Yes there have been increases in premiums over the years. However our choice still remains the best coverage for our lifestyle and preferences and the 100% coverage.
