Questions for those on Medicare (or who have experience with it)

3. Medicare Part B

does pay 80% and you are responsible for the remaining 20%. That is why it is important to have supplementary insurance which pays for what Medicare doesn't pay. I pay $104.50 per month this year for my Medicare and $160 per month for my supplementary ins. This also covers 80% of my Rx, my dental, my vision and hearing, with a $250 deductible. This is through the CT State Teachers Retirement. My husband has the same policies and it 's a good thing because he has been fighting cancer since 2011. If we didn't have this we most likely would have to file bankruptcy because we would have gone through all of our savings. I only have positive things to say about Medicare. I find it efficient and well run.
