In reply to is medicare insurance any good compared to private, posted by johnLA on April 14, 2014, at 20:02:32
John was on disability for a few years then turned retirement age. My coverage for both Disability and Retirement Medicaire is the same. I also pay for a supplemental plan. My total cost for both medicaire and supplemental is about $175 a month and includes medications. My pdoc recently got brand name valium for 1/4 of the cost. Approved by medicaire. I think California has some weird policies. Go to gov.org and that will give you the medicaire plane same as disability. I have a plan which allows me to refer myself to any doctor that takes medicaire. Don't get into one of the plans where you have to see someone in a special group. Good luck. I personally think medicaire is better than the private insurance BC/BS that my husband buys on his own. Phillipa
