The medicare supplement plans start at $150 per month. Plus you may need to purchase a drug plan too.
Florida Blue for example Monthly Cost $178-$660
Doesn't include:
$185.00 Standard Part B premium
LOL! that belief will work until it doesn't! anyone can develop a chronic illness between 65 and whenever, after they chose a plan, through no fault of their own Anyone can get into an accident requiring lots of medical care, though no fault of their own. .

Thinking if you are healthy today and will stay that way forever is hopium. . so do healthy people who believe that then know how they will die?
will it be a golf cart accident? someone else's fault? a tree falling? a lightning bolt? dementia/Alzheimers, which can result in a long life needing assisted living or in home care?
but never needing any thing else but an annual physical and a gymn membership?
