I look to my parents who were both relatively healthy in their 60s, but faced severe health issues in their 80s.
If Medicare enrollees have the option to change plans during the Open Enrollment period near the end of each year -- why would anyone choose a plan at age 65, and in good or decent health, based on what their health might be like 15 or 20 years down the road?

Especially if choosing a plan that might be better if one is later sickly but, is much more costly now? Thanks...
