I think that my is advantage since it has been paying part of my gym membership...

I changed a few years ago and I first called Medicare and the person there was really helpful. With my zip code the agent ran through several plans and their costs and what they offer.

Mine is about $120 a month - yes, has been going up by 5-10 a month since I joined. But my costs, including phy. therapy last year, are $15 an office visit. Otherwise between it and Medicare I really don't have to pay... keep my fingers crossed.
