She'll likely pay that much for original Medicare, a supplement and a Drug Plan. The whole system needs reform. Silent Type Dec 5 #1

But, yeah, she should shop around.

Most insurance rates vary by location, with high utilization areas costing substantially more. And there are different levels of plans just like Medigap and Part D for the 49% of Medicare beneficiaries who stay in original Medicare.

Morans fucked over the entire damn country with their ignorance.

I switched my Medicare supplement and I’ll pay 125 a month for my Medicare supplement and 5 a month for part D.

It is beneficial to have an independent agent you can call annually and find out what the best deals are and who will make the switch for you.
