Although I have no health issues (currently), my husband does and we chose Medigap plans so as not to have to change doctors. We can always drop back to Advantage plans if finances dictate it, but I understand it may be difficult and more expensive to switch from Advantage to Medigap.

Whew! I'm glad that chore is done for the upcoming year. I wish they'd have mercy on us old folks and streamline/simplify this process.
