I Have Used Several Different Advantage Programs Since My Retirement 15 Years Ago

I have used several different Advantage programs since my retirement 15 years ago. When I first retired I took a Medicare Supplement plan but after becoming fully retired 10 years ago I found the monthly premiums too costly and switched to an Advantage plan. Depending on the benefits and the provider base I have changed plans to fit my needs.

I depend on Social Security and a small pension to provide me with the basics: a roof over my head and food on the table. Of course these are not the only necessities in this day and age. If the Advantage programs are changed and become more expensive my budget will be stretched too far.
