I am wary of these all inclucive plans theey sound good on paper but do not fully
explain all the deductibles. Im 83 yrs old I m sticking with my medicaare part A&B
and my Supplemental Blue Cross , and my part D , my prescriptions for generic run me 5.00 and I never have to pay any extra to my doctors.
True Blue Cross gopt a raise from $180.00 by monthly to 214.16, but by comparison theres nothing out there that can beat what I have, Its worth kooking into in depth. Catherine J. Snow kayraysnow@sbcglobal.net

It is my experience in working with seniors that most seniors have neglected to read the Medicare and You 2008 book that's sent out to seniors at the beginning of the year. In that book, it identifies each of the Medicare Advantage Plans that have been approved by Medicare and provides a comparison of each one. I help them to make the choice that is in their best interest.
While the supplemental plans may be useful for a certain segment of seniors, those low income seniors who often do not have checking accounts likely would not choose them nor would they qualify. An appropriate Medicare Advantage Plan would be the best bet for them.
