I'm so glad to hear that, Kelly. I think you are making a wise decision.:hug:

I also think you are making a good decision. I was a tad bit worried:)

Trish, isn't Medicare Advantage going away when the Health care plan passed goes into effect?

well, i decided on original medicare because i wanted to pick my own drs.
HMO's are cheaper but i wanted choice. i also decided to get part B and supplemental (AARP) because i've had other problems.

in '08 i was dx'd with breast CA and had surgery and radiation. in '09 i needed a lot of PT. 20% of those expenses would have killed me. as it was i put a lot out of pocket from what was left over.

you just can't predict what may happen. i guess that's why it's called insurance.
