I wasn't comparing Medicare Supplemental Plans to ACA plans. Those are not comparable, one is a government benefit that YOU PAID INTO your entire life to get the plan at that cost, the other is a fully-insured plan run by a for profit health insurance company that if it's not subsidized by the government, is going to cost a lot of money.
I was comparing the cost of Medicare Supplement plans to the Cost of Medicare Advantage. It could easily cost $3,000 more and that's not chump change to a number of people.
