    The Medicare Part B with an AARP Supplement has been ok for us.

    I have the cheapest Part D plan for prescriptions. In 3 years I think we have had 2 or 3 prescriptions. All of them are required to be covered by law, but these guys denied them anyway.

    You get what you pay for.

    We have a completely separate Delta Dental plan, it is ok.

      Funny you should mention. I stopped by my dentist's office yesterday wondering if it was worth keeping it, considering I get twice-yearly cleanings, exams, etc. I've not needed any work done (fillings, whatever...).

      He said "Keep the Delta Dental. If you're not in their plan, the fees for what you have done are higher (on a yearly basis) than what you're paying in premiums. If you need a filling, etc., you'll save a lot of money."

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        No question. But I’m not a huge proponent of Advantage. I’ve seen friends and family members have to jump through hoops for months to get the care they needed.

            The guy has a mere 250 followers. Some big accounts must have retweeted it to get Aetnas attention.

                The fundamental problem with Advantage is the admins have every motivation to deny coverage.

                  Of course my brother believes we need Medicare For All, at which point we'd have no more physicians.

                                Taiwan has it. Works pretty well, but I think that there is starting to be some problems as the population gets older on average.
