Anybody sick of seeing Joe Namath hawk those Medicare plans? There's someone who probably doesn't even need Medicare.

Plan F and Plan C are no longer available if you unlucky enough to have been born in 1955 or later. The Government does not want you to have a plan that pays your deductible in hopes it will stop Medicare users from going to the hospital as they will now have to pay that deductible.
I have to find some other plan (G maybe) or simply go without.

So I become Medicare eligible next month. I have signed up for part A and B and will sign up for the Walmart Part D even though I take no medications to avoid late sign up penalties. Anyone have ideas if I need F or some other supplemental?
I know a couple that paid no additional money for their Medicare supplement, and it worked very well for them. Even though he developed cancer when he got older they still basically broke even because he had quite a few years of good health with no medical issues.
Don't forget that Plan F is supposed to not be offered after this year.
Plan F and Plan G are suppose to be exactly the same, except the brokers would push plan F because it makes them more money. For anyone making the Medicare decision, there are many good books on the issue, one being 'Getting What's Yours, Medicare" It's really a major decision that can cost you dearly if you make a mistake.
