So far, Medicare Advantage plans of Blue Cross/Blue Shield has worked well for us. My wife got good cancer treatment & saw many doctors without much problem, & I got an MRI for my knee injury this year……arthritis, bursitis, tendinitides, cyst, torn meniscus, bruised femur bone, sprained ACL….plus routine bloodwork for a chronic vitamin D deficiency & inactive thyroid. Obamacare followed by Medicare-for-All will probably be affordable only by killing old white people. ..but healthcare is a huge issue. An acquaintance told me how lucky I am to get Medicare for under $300/ mo because he is 62 years old and has to pay $1:500/ month for health insurance ,with a $10,000 deductible. That is shameful, owing $28,000 out of pocket each year before insurance pays anything. What is the point?
I can see how Medicare for all might be a real temptation for a lot of people.

Before I hit 65, I did a bit of research. Reviews of Advantage plans were all over the place. Much depends on the company, I’m sure.
I finally decided to go with a Medicare supplement plan. It was more expensive than an Advantage plan. And didn’t include all the extra Advantage plan goodies.
But I’m not in the best of health. So I decided to play it safe.
