Health

This was not because of advertising. I spent a LOT of time reading and comparing plans. At this point we pay 100 a month each. Including drug plan, dental plan, eyes, and hearing aids.

During those 15 years I have had both knees replaced and been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The care has been excellent. However I do know that at 80 we have not yet had to deal with the really complicated heath issues.

Since we signed up 15 years ago, we have learned about the nefarious social cost of Medicare Advantage. And we have been hoping to switch to Medicare for that reason. The system makes it difficult and expensive to make that switch, which is outrageous. But we have stayed with MA for that reason.

Whenever I mention on DU that we have had good medical care on MA, I always get a lot of angry response. To me at this point the outrage is the fact that it is so difficult to switch.
