I don't know anyone paying $1000/month for a Medicare Supplement. I do know a lot of people, including myself, who are paying less than $200/month. Regarding your "free MA plan", you are still paying the Medicare Part B premium of $185.00/month.

The result they get seems no different than what they'd get for free, so far as I can tell.
I chose the "giveback" deal because Humana is the only one offering it, and I'd rather have the money in hand than beg for it through the various gimmicks United was doing, like free "stuff" from some weird online store that mostly had "stuff" I don't need.
I apply that same logic concerning the $1000/mo it would cost for a Medicare supplement. $12K/yr in the bank buys a lot of healthcare that I probably won't even use, anyway. I buy insurance for disasters, not groceries. My "free" MA plan (that I already paid for) pays at least 80% of the disaster costs, and I've saved $12K/yr towards the 20%, in the meantime.
