I’m 54 so I am not even close. But I’ve known a lot of seniors who like the plans. I don’t know if they don’t mind the costs that may occur, but I know they like the grocery money they get monthly and the no monthly costs in some plans. I’m not sure how you are going to force them back to traditional Medicare especially since the government likes these (or so I’ve heard).
