We have used it a couple of times and it stinks for coverage but I guess it is what it is until we are old enough for Medicare and a supplemental . We DID figure this into our retirement so it is not a surprise but it will probably only keep going up . I have no faith with the current administration that it's going to get better soon .

So your calculations are trying to hit a running target...... how long will you live ? How much is healthcare going to cost ? Are you going to stay healthy ? Will you be hit with something catastrophic ? You plan for the worst and hope for the best Good luck to all on this decision .

Medicare.
