Default Medicare Supplemental

If I understand correctly, this insurance pays what Medicare doesn't pay.
Here's the reason why the premium keeps going up: Too many people take advantage of the fact that they can go to the doctor whenever they want without any cost to them. I had a neighbor who had this insurance and I know for a fact that she overused it. Every time I talked to her she would tell me about some doctor she was going to. Her reasoning: She said she was paying a high insurance premium and wanted to get her money's worth.
Well, if everyone does that, you know the premium has to go up.
