5. Advise from a senior at a meeting

I went to meeting last fall attended by lots of people already on medicare

One senior advised against medicare advantage because it is insurance companies who are willing to deny coverage for things like normal - she advised aarp medicare
I also picked aarp medicare supplement plan F - covers everything medicare does not cover

She said she originally had the aarp plan but drop and went with medicare advantage and found out it was no good once her husband was sick - they looked at how many visits and considered same problem - I know I am not explaining this well - but she said stay away
