Bring it on!
Don't get me wrong, I think Medicare is great. Even when you add the cost of Medicare to the cost of the Supplement, it's still less than half of the price of my wifes insurance which we get through my ex-employer.

This thread was questioning the 10% per year increase I've been seeing over the last 4 years. From what I'm seeing from the few replies I've received so far, $211 isn't that high.
