I have Medicare Advantage with Kaiser Permanente

I've been hearing bad things about Medicare Advantage, but I have had zero problems, and some shockingly LOW pharma costs

My Lisinopril is free

My albuterol is $10 per monthly unit

I haven't been hospitalized since I came aboard, but I dont pay any extra premium... Only the SSI contribution ($170 per mo?)

I was really shocked when the first bills came in ... All zeros
