How do you deal with aging?

I like to remind my friends starting out out on Medicare to sign up for partD
regardless of their health or wealth. I complained about the plan premiums
while I was in great health until the prescriptions piled on in my 70s.
Now I am on a very costly biologic and my benefits far exceed all my prior
contributions.
Once you sign on to an Advantage plan you are likely to be stuck there.
Regular premium supplement plans such as F or G do not have to accept
you should you feel disadvantaged.

Agreed!!! And there are some very cheap Part D premiums. If they use the tool on the Medicare site to find Part D plans, they will be shown all the plans available to them. And people don't realize that insurance companies don't have to accept them when they want to change. They sure wouldn't want me now with my bills!
I lecture my friends and family about the dangers of Advantage plans.
