One factor in setting the premium is the age at which the plan was initiated. I (stupidly) stayed on hubby's work insurance until I was 68 or 69. I pay about $200 per month for Florida Blue plan G. It would be less if I had signed up at 65.

FWIW, switching to traditional Medicare and FL Blue was a great move for me. I have had significant medical bills this year and have paid nothing out of pocket other than my plan G deductible which is about $200 per year.
