I'm very fortunate to have a good 'supplemental,' Federal Employees Health Benefits, but looking at statements I've received, Medicare has paid for most of the services I've received, and FEHB little. I've paid nothing out of pocket.

FEHB does have excellent drug coverage, and I do pay some out of pocket for RXs. Not at home now so can't say what my premium is; it's not unreasonable, but also not 'cheap.'
