18. I won't argue with you, but I recommend you talk with a counselor one on one. You might save money.

Perhaps your Union is paying for your plan?

People on Advantage usually have all or part of their Part B paid by the company they chose - this is all in the book.

I'd ask why yours isn't because that's a big seliing point in these plans. You'll see that in the book too. I have a friend who is on an Advantage plan, and they pay for her Part B as part of the package.

It's all up to you, but I thought the advice to review your plan every year was a great one. The prices of every single plan and supplement change yearly.

If you have faith in your Union that they've chosen an Advantage plan that somehow fits all the needs of all Union members, despite health, age, or gender...that's fantastic!

Anyway, I just thought I'd throw a thought in there for others looking, including the OP, that it's not as hard as it first seems, but it's good to do your research.

Everyone is different.
