What, 20,000 words weren’t enough for ya? You want me to write more???
Go to the thread below, posts 2, 10, 30, 32, 39, and 78 are particularly helpful.
Not going to retype it out, but effectively:
- Plans vary by county. Go to Medicare.gov, enter your zip code, select for the county, and then review plans.
- As a general rule, a Medicare Supplement (MS) plan + a Part D prescription plan is better financially than a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan (which usually has a Part D attached to it).
- You will pay that Part B premium for the rest of your life. Just accept it.
- If you have creditable employer coverage, and it’s subsidized, keep it as long as you can.
