Plus $99 is deducted from your SS per momth.

That comes to $314 per month per person or $628 per couple.

I'm sure Plan F is great if the money is there

For those couples unable to spend this much per month, Preferred Care Partners is another option.
You are correct. Full coverage for a couple would be over $600 per month. That is a lot, unless you have a serious illness which results in thousands of dollars of annual medical bills. But there are also slightly scaled down plans, like AARP's Plan N. It costs about $100 per month (saving a couple $150 in monthly premiums) and the out-of-pocket costs are basically small co-pays.
