I swear by SHINE. They are remarkable volunteers who do not operate from a profit motive. Their mission is to provide unbiased Medicare information, whether one goes with an Advantage plan or whether one goes with a traditional plan with a Medigap policy.

This is true… Florida supplements on traditional Medicare is much higher then many other States. Since we started Medicare when we were not yet residents in Florida we kept the supplement company from out of State and are paying Far Less than any company here in Florida.
