Get Medicare! No to Medicare Advantage. It's perfume-covered doo-doo that'll bankrupt or kill you.

11. I have enough money to make up the difference

so I'm sticking with plain Medicare. My reason? I don't want to put up with insurance company horseshit about which group, in group, out group, which hospital, and on and on it goes. Then there are the restrictions on drugs they don't like paying for.

Fuck them with a rusty chainsaw, sideways. It's worth the extra money when I need care to avoid the hassles.

However, I realize some people aren't quite as flush, and one of those hideous plans might be necessary.

(FWJW, my snapped hip cost about $2500, all told. It was worth it to be able to go to the county hospital, they're better at traumatic injury and I got great care instead of good care, hospital through rehab. A year without disaster is about $120 out of pocket)
