It's simple if you want to see any Dr. In the USA or go to any hospital in the USA get original Medicare, if you want to be restricted to a short list of Doctors with high deductibles in a network get an advantage plan. If you are very healthy an advantage plan would work out financially If not the money you save on premiums will be eaten up and then some by deductibles and copays. Remember once you opt for an advantage plan there is no going back to traditional Medicare
