yep. never sign up for medicare disadvanage ... sign up for straight medicare with a Plan F or Plan G supplement and go to nearly any damn doctor in the country that you want to ... like all else, you get what you pay for ...
I wondered about that. Thanks for you're input. I'm not there yet, but I remember an elderly woman at church told me YEARS ago that she found she liked the regular, standard Medicare and then paid for a Medicare supplement and she was happy with her coverage. Her supplement might have been through Farm Bureau or AAA or something like that. She said the same thing...she went to the doctors and hospitals of HER choice, not some bureacratic M.D. or nurse practitioner who sits in a corporate insurance company building and hadn't seen patients in years!
