Right, for regular Medicare you can buy a supplement also called Medigap policies, but you also buy a Plan D - drug plan. Plan D is the supplement for drug coverage, without which prescription drugs can be very expensive. Plan D type coverage for prescription drugs is often included in Advantage plans.
