It's shit that we pay into medicare all our life then have to pay again in retirement. Throwing everyone off Advantage Plans and forcing them to find Part G or N at great expense is no better of an option for most people. Part B + a Medigap plan will run the average person $450 a month or more. This doesn't even include coverage for medication. That's not better IMO.
