Medicare "Advantage" plans are a waste of money (in my humble opinion) because the dental and vision part of those plans are not worth the premiums. Better to self-pay.

Get regular Medicare with a part F or G supplemental. Then look for one that has "Silver Sneakers" to join a fitness place (eg Planet Fitness for free).

Those Advantage plans are all "private" and will steer you towards their own set of doctors and service providers and are very limited in travel especially outside the USA.... Plus somebody has to pay for all of their advertising Guess who??
