Oct 2013

I have been a member of Group Health (Pacific Northwest former co-op) for 28 years, so I got their Medicare Advantage program.
There are, of course, different levels. Since I rarely go to the Doc, I got one with higher co-pays, 20 instead of 15, and lower monthly cost.

So I pay the $104 to Medicare as I'm not old enough for SS right now, and $43/mo for my GH advantage plan.
And I added dental, since I have a lot of work I've been postponing, for an additional $50/mo.

So about $200 for med/dental.

I'm happy with what I have.
