I have a practical question about Medicare Supplemental or Advantage insurance.

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 26, 2019:

Just names, really meaningless....call AARP's free number, get an English speaking, non-commission-earning person who will query you about your needs & help you choose the best plan for the next year (high drug costs? Upcoming surgery? International travel? etc). They have at least 10 plans to choose from, ranging from about nothing to a couple hundred a month. Far better insurance than I had when I was working at a place reputed to have "excellent"coverage! You have a window each year (October thru December) to change at will...I did when facing knee replacement, changed back the next year to one weighted for drug coverage.....you will always be Covered, just more one way or another....
