It would take me an awfully long time to get to the "tens of thousands of out of pocket expenses" that you talked about above.
My point was the possibility of pitfalls. If you read the ad on page ten of today's Sun you will note they state there are situations where you may not be covered by either Medicare nor Medicare Advantage.
