IMHO health care costs are just another gamble - (will you get sick), like the stock market - (will it tank), how much risk are you prepared to take!
Thank you for answering a big question of mine about Mayo. We have supplemental plans on top of Medicare that are accepted anywhere in the country. So many people have stated that Mayo does not take Medicare, but I have wondered if you have something other than an advantage plan if you are covered there.
