I mentioned the AARP MediGap to point out why they want to see cuts in medicare. The more coverage we have to buy, the more money they make.

I cancelled my Medi-Gap and have no Gap coverage at all.

Cancelled the RX coverage as well. Started out wit Humana at $4 per month. That price now is ridiculously high so I said goodbye.

My point is that if there are cuts in Medicare, i.e., it covers less of the costs, then the premiums for MediGap or other supplementary insurance will have to increase, which would hurt some seniors.

I don't know what your financial situation is, but that doesn't sound like a wise move to me. In terms of RX, take Part D. I have kept my federal health insurance so I don't need Medigap or Part D insurance.

FYI: When I called AARP to cancel my membership, they made a point of telling me that AARP does not own any insurance products. Their plans are thru the United Healthcare Insurance Company.
