(4,218 posts)She is a retired RN and spent the last 10 years as a case manager for Medicare/Medicaid recipients in the community. Her plan is a 5 star plan and has been for the past 7 years Kelsey Advantage. Her out of pocket expenses have thousands less than mine with an employee sponsored plan. Now, she is healthy and only has one prescription. With traditional Medicare you are responsible for 20% and you have to have a drug plan. Medical plans cost 150. Per month and more. There is no one plan fits all and everyone needs to do their own research. She does not foresee ever changing to traditional Medicare unless something drastic happens. Also, Medicare for All (if that ever happens) will almost assuredly be based on the advantage plan model. Also, apparently unknown to those not on Medicare or those about to be for most of us Medicare costs 175.00 and more per month.
