| I don't know how much over 50 y'all are. But United helathcare is basically screwing over my FIL. I've recently gotten involved, and it just seems that someone who has two kinds of insurance shouldn't be getting hundreds of dollars in these bills. Is anyone happy with their supplement insurance? Is it ever advisable to drop the supplement insurance and just save that money to put towards "the gap?" |

| My mom just signed with CareFirst for a Medicare supplement/medigap policy. Personally, I'm a big fan of Carefirst. There's about 6-7 different standard options for medigap plans (they go by plan a, b, etc). Each plan have various levels of coverage so how much he ends up paying out of pocket depends on what type of plan he has. For example, my mom got the plan F which seemed like the most comprehensive coverage. Look at the plan he has-that may explain why he is paying so much out of pocket, and then consider switching to a plan that has more comprehensive coverage. I think you have until December 7 to switch plans but I'm not sure. I helped both my parents with their medigap and plan D options and was overwhelmed by all the choices and plans. |

| My office switched from Carefirst to United Health care and I definitely pay more now even though plans were supposed to be comparable |
