Pay attention and you will see a PPO is very similar to basic Medicare plus a supplement. I am not recommending which way to go at all however throwing out an advantage PPO because of having limited choices and substandard care is simply not true.

And finally if you watch all 3 of the videos before going to SHINE you will be far better off than just walking in. Without some backdrop it is highly likely your mind won't be able to keep each option separate the first time around - too much at once.
