a $1400 dollar out of pocket before it kicks in. And I'm still, in 2022, only paying $170.00 for Medicare.

I had a heart attack nearly two years ago, four days in the hospital, a stent, and paid under $900.00 for the stay. Not bad.

People here try to trash Advantage Plans, and I honestly find that mine has been excellent.
