One more thing, the wife and I enrolled in MC this past Fall.

I had CFBS thru my office that covered us and my employees.

Since I was a small business, the only thing available was thru the "Affordable Care Act".

I was paying over $1300/month for my self and my wife (over $2600 total), with a $4000 deductible...

My employees cost the same per person... Luckily, they also went on Medicare about a year ago...

Since October, we now pay $174/month each, plus another $225-ish) for AARP UHC.

Our Part D is $0.40 (yes FOURTY CENTS)/month. I pay ZERO for my BP meds (2 low dose diuretics) and $9 and change for my 3 month supply of cholesterol meds. My wife pays a bit more for her cholesterol meds (different meds)...

Since October, I've had a metric ton of tests, scans, etc, a 3 day hospital stay for a GI bleed (all healed), and an Aortic Valve replacement...

Total out of pocket cost? $0.00

Of course, YMMV...
