Well it's that time a year again, our health insurance plan will not be offered again for the 4th year in row.    So now I have a month to find a new health insurance again.  If I lived in Seattle there would be no problem. 

b o did not do senior citizens that work for a living one damn bit of good.   :cursing:

Ok off my yearly soapbox rant about health insurance for now.

Obamacare is like the frog in a pot of water and the heat is being turned up. This is by design.

Do you qualify for Medicare?
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.

Yes But I would like one with PPO as I had 4 and 5 years a go.  All I can get now in my area is HMO.

What about straight medicare with a second policy that will pick up the difference?

I need to look into that, as long as it will cover RX's also.

That's what my dad had.  Straight medicare and a supplemental to it.

His prescriptions never cost more than a dollar, but probably won't find that today.   

Some friends have SCAN a medicare HMO.  They've been happy with it.

Drug coverage (Part D)
How to get drug coverage

Read about the 2 ways to get Medicare prescription drug coverage–either through adding a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D), or getting a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) such as an HMO or PPO that offers Medicare prescription drug coverage.

Since I have Tri-Care I don't need part D, but I have A & B.
