splunge63's JournalMedicare Supplemental Insurance
am enrolled in traditional Medicare, have 5 months to select a Medicare Supplemental policy. focusing on Plans G and N, and the high-deductible Plan G. my health is good and I'm fortunate to have pretty good means. high-deductible seems appealing to me, as its cost is low and covers me over the $2800 deductible. seems like exactly the situation insurance (big financial hit) is for. but when researching plans, virtually every website seems to steer visitors to more expensive plans (I wonder why, lol). I'm going to call Medicare for advice on this issue in the very near future. but if anyone has been down this path and cares to share their experience, I'd really welcome it. thanks
and just to be crystal clear, not interested in any discussion of Medicare "Advantage"
Starting Medicare (original) in a few days. Looking for dental insurance/dental savings plan
Any advice is welcome. Have been on MetLife Dental PPO for decades. I'm very lucky, nothing beyond occasional fillings. OTOH, my newly retired spouse has a small fortune in dental work (numerous crowns).
The seemingly good articles I've found do not bear up with reality (the coverage and cost aren't even close to the same when I solicit a quote). Well aware that costs/coverage vary by state, age, gender, but I'm seeing pretty ridiculous disparities.
if Harris gets the nomination, she should pick Pete as her VP
and, FWIW, I hope she does (get the nomination)
Cal Cunningham
As much as I loathe Sinema, Cunningham should bear an equal level of frustration with the status quo. What a clusterfuck!
Manchin, being from deep red WV, is in a different category. Believe me, I get the frustration there. But no Manchin, Turtle's in charge, nothing gets done.
noob intro
I'm a noob here, but have been heavily following politics for most of my nearly 60 years. Very happy with the 2018 midterms and quite hopeful about 2020. Been lurking here for ~3+ years, it's time to join the party.
