You guys! Paying almost $400 a month for Medicare (which I had looked forward to as being free, then had the reality check of the $135 per month premium) is mindblowing for me. I've been conditioned to paying my enormous property taxes each year without flinching, but I can't bring myself to fork out $400 a month, even for stress-free cadillac insurance. W2R, may I ask you to divulge the name of the MA insurance company in La that is so popular? Here in Pa I'm looking at Humana, United Health Care, and CapBlue Cross HMO's. The HMO vs PPO thing does not seem to be a big deal. I still have my doctors in the network, and I do not think I need referrals.
JGI these prices vary wildly be state. And the big decision is supplement or MA you get one six month bite at that apple. I believe if you choose MA at your ORIGINAL signup period you have a small windrow to drop it and go to a supplement. As far as the MA company you are not locked into a certain company you can switch at the open enrollment every year.
I too lived in fairytale land thinking it would be free and later thinking it would cost around 135 a month but as in many things, the devil is in the details...
