REW, do you have any concerns about the future, if/when you or DW's health declines, that you may not be able to switch to a regular Plan F, or G, etc. due to medical underwriting?Here's my estimate of individual savings for DW and I since we enrolled in Medicare Supplement F-HD:
Average annual Plan F premium ~ $2,000
Average annual Plan F-HD premium ~ $700
Average annual premium savings = $1,300
We are both relatively healthy (thankfully) and what we have paid for medical care out of pocket has averaged less than $150 per person per year. So our savings for having plan F-HD has been approximately $1,150 ($1,300 - $150) annually for each of us.
Or are you thinking that come what may, riding Plan F H-D all the way to the final round-up will work for you? I'm not trying to change your mind or anything, I would like to tap your thoughts on this. I have yet to spread-sheet it all out, with a few different letter plans, and a multitude of scenarios with increasing medical cost years, like increasing in big chunks. Of course, premiums would be in the mix.
