The dental was better, vision was better, and I paid less for some prescription drugs.
I'm curious... are you happier on Medicare? (Is your Medicare supplemented by a company?). Or would you prefer to be on your employer's healthcare plan?
Can we please have an intelligent, non-political discussion on this?

Some employer's plans were great, some good, and many were barely adequate. Everyone's experience is different. If your cost was low, it was because your employer paid most of it.
Once you turn 65, it doesn't matter what you had or what you would prefer. Medicare is the only game in town. Some employers may provide your supplement coverage, most don't. Learn to be happy with what you have.
