(720 posts)Before I retired, my employer was paying for our supplemental and prescription plans(Blue Cross). When I retired, I did the math, and realized that I couldn't afford either of them for me. My MA plan has an out-of-pocket max of $3,600, and the premiums for the supplemental and prescription plans would have cost me over $4,000.
Right now, the two plans for my wife are almost $5,000 annually, and that is becoming a major problem, since we're getting by mainly on SS. She'll be going on the same MA plan I have, with that max out-of-pocket of $3,600.
Although I would prefer that both of us have the supplemental insurance, I simply cannot afford it anymore.
i know, the next statement is going to be "why not find a cheaper plan?", I really like the Blue Cross plans. Before I retired, I had several surgeries, and there was never a question about a claim, and absolutely no problems with any medication prescribed for us.
