Supplements you pay at the front end and as you age, your monthly premiums increase. It’s a good plan. But there are folks who cannot afford the $175 Medicare B plus the $200+ per month for the supplement. Then there are the Part D prescriptions. So in essence you pay at the front end with Traditional Medicare and back end with Advantage plans.

Very well summarized.
