Very good point as this same doctor said he was dropping from Florida Blue in February 2014, as the result of litlle reimbursement. Maybe I need to reconsider going, to Original Medicare with a supplement assuming I can get accepted, as SHINE informed me that you only get one bite at the apple if you have been on a medical advantage plan for more than 12 months and have been to a doctor for a well documented condition that might get one rejected. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

Selecting a plan will keep anyone mentally sharp, as they are so many things to consider. They should make it easier for us older folks, and not have to consider so many alternatives
