What I found were plans that covered everything. No extra premium. But $7000 and up deductibles. That's pretty standard for my state. So I I stayed with original Medicare, and a supplement, and part D, and an eye and teeth plan that will finally cover something next year. All of this still costs me less than the only plans available at Healthcare. Gov were.
