Dec 2018

a slightly more expensive but no deductions for medications which, I think, will come to the same thing. Also less co pay.

As I do with all decisions in my life, spreadsheet to the rescue.

I tallied all my prescription purchased over the year, and the amount that I will be charged with each purchase and I think will come to the same $300 or so.

This is a respected carrier with high marks from Medicare.

Will give it a try this year.

Sigh
