(98,883 posts)about 500-700/ month for two people. Add another 200 to 400/ month for Part B for two people, plus Add another 100 bucks or so for Part D premiums, and vision and dental are not included.
A lot of folks on a fixed income just can't afford that, and a LOT OF FOLKS who aren't on Medicare don't realize that even after paying into Medicare while they were working, they still have to pay a premium for Part B, a premium for a supplemental plan, and a premium for Part D, and dental and vision aren't included.
People can argue until the cows come home why MA plans are not as good or flexible as Medi-gap plans, but the reality is for many in the country it comes down to what people can afford, and for a lot of people Medicare Advantage is sure as heck a lot better than not being covered because you cannot afford the premiums.
