But to be honest.

They both sound the same. Just extra insurance to cover what Medicare doesn't cover at extra expense, with convoluted rules and regulations designed to confuse and not pay out.

But damn, you know your insurance plans.

I have TriCare for Life, which is also very confusing. I frequently just go to the VA which takes care of me for free.
