@upschuck said ↗Medicare wouldn't let you into a plain medicare with a with a medigap plan? I'm just starting to look into this, so pardon my ignorance.Not ignorant at all. It's a learning experience. I had a heart attack so I guess it's a pre existing condition. I got an advantage when I first turned 65 because I dint understand it all. Then I never got sick took no meds, didn't even have a doctor, so why pay? Then it happened. I was told had to be heart attack free for 2 yrs before I could buy a medigap supplement. I'm OK with what I got, it's cut my meds to 1000 a year. And I do not plan on ever being in hospital again. That's the killer with an advantage plan. Plus most are hmo. So you have to find one that includes your Dr, dentist etc. In network. It's a pain!
