I turned 65 last year and just retired at the end of 2016, at which time I lost my employer’s group plan.
My monthly premiums, combined, for Medicare Part B, Part C (Medicare Supplement), and Part D (pharma) is just a hair over $300/month. But, my co-pays and deductibles and out-of-pockets are paid under the Medicare Supplement plan, so I have no costs or expenses other than the premiums, unless I go in for some exotic treatment that Medicare does not cover.
It just really irks me to hear people bitch about paying small amounts for co pays and insurance. We’ve been paying so much for insurance for so many years now. Hubby retired 12 years ago so we were still on his employers plan but paid full price for it. It was $700 a month for me and $700 for him at the time. I finally found cheaper insurance for me but then they just kept raising the price on him. We’ve been paying $1300-1400 a month for years now. hearing people gripe about small amounts just makes me want to scream. Lol
Sorry. Rant off.
