I’m an “average” person, and I won’t be going MA.

I’m 63, and am paying almost $1000 a month for a solid health insurance policy. So, once I turn 65, and only paying for traditional Medicare + Supplement, I’ll be saving quite a bit in monthly health cost premiums.

I understand those on tight, fixed incomes may have no other alternative than to go with MA. But I think most Villagers have a few extra dollars to invest in obtaining the best possible medical coverage available.
