Actually, any advice, docs or website info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My husband is retired army & I am a retired Fed employee. We used to have Medicare, BC/BS Fed, & TCL. Two years ago we dropping BC/BS when premiums reached close to $500/mo. Don't know why we didn't do this sooner. We have been very pleased with regular Medicare & TFL. We have never seen a bill for surgery, tests, etc. Specialists rejoice when you say regular Medicare - no referral or permisision needed. Co-pay & deductible are
covered by TFL. The real benefit is you can go wherever and see whatever doc you need to see without any hassle. Health care in The Villages can be sketchy at times, so we wanted the freedom to choose our own docs.
