Original not Advantage, I can choose my docs. I pay about 350/month including Medigap, and everything is covered.

I got cancer the month of my 65th birthday and it has been an adventure since then. Several surgeries, specialized scans, monthly bloodwork, bi-monthly chemo for years and more. Have not had a single expense beyond premiums and have had the best care at a teaching hosp and specialists of my choice.

Everyone should have access to this care.
