Traditional Medicare has no out of pocket limit. If something catastrophic happens, your costs keep going up. We know a couple in NC where the husband was in the hospital for the last 7 months of his life. The wife had over $100k in bills when he died. My MA plan has a $3500 out of pocket max in NC. Nationwide coverage, have never been denied service. In fact, going in for a cervical fusion next week. All states are far from the same when it comes to MA plans. Medicare supplement plans are astronomical in price if you are under 65. I started Medicare at age 50 due to disability. Many factors to consider.
