I am a retired Federal employee and I save thousands of dollars by having the standard Blue Cross plan, but do not have Medicare Part B. The Blue Cross plan covers almost everything I need, and it has a low catastrophic limit of $6,000 per year. The Medicare premiums are too high, especially if you are subject to IRMAA.
