I thought ACA was supposed to fix that? I guess they didn’t read it did they? |

I do not know if this is correct, but I go to the emergency room when this happens. They always see me and I do not have to pay a dime. When one medical professional tells me I am dying and another tells me to wait my turn, I take matters into my own hands.
My wife was told by a doctor that she may have cancer. I took her to the emergency room. It ended up being a bladder infection. That was 35 years ago. Not a single doctor has told her she has cancer since. She remains healthy as a horse. True story. Last edited by Randall55; 01-21-2024 at 06:21 AM. Reason: . |

But it did not change Medicare, or supplements. Now if you think that supplements are too expensive, guess how much the government controls that cost. Zero. They are sold by the private insurance industry and are not part of Medicare. Now the ACA did impact Medicare Advantage plans cutting the payment to them as they were making too much of a profit and a few other tweaks including lowering the cost of the "donut hole" for seniors and some adjustments in Medicare taxes for high earners.

I have Medicare Advantage so there is no need to buy a supplemental policy or dental and vision insurance.
For those of you that have traditional Medicare and medigap, what does a medigap policy cost?? And if you have dental or vision, how much is that? |

I have Medicare Supplemental in MA, which is different than most states, as it doesn't allow Insurers to sell their "low cost - low coverage" policies. My Supplemental costs about $115/month. Here are the various levels of Supplementals you can get. Not all are available in all states. Compare Medigap Plan Benefits | Medicare |

I went online and found this tool. Medicare is very complicated. There are a lot of different plans but it appears that the monthly price ranges from $68 a month to $369 a month. This is in addition to your part B premium. Find a Medicare plan |
