I agree that FEHB is needed. But, I cannot see paying an additional $3,300 per year for Medicare Part B. The only possible benefit I could get from that would be maybe $1,700. That is the difference between the FEHB catastrophic limit of $5,000 and the $3,300 Medicare premium. By the way, Medicare Part B does not cover prescription drugs, but, if you had the Blue Cross FEHB plan, you would not pay $10,000 for anything because you would have exceeded the catastrophic limit, and everything would be covered at 100 percent.
