A supplemental plan, along with a prescription plan run about $135 per month and, with those plans, there is normally no or very little out of pocket expense.

Of course, if ObamaCare is actually passed – MediCare either will end up not being taken for payment by doctors or services will be unavailable as part of MediCare, e.g. either rationed or simply not offered period. Why? Payments to doctors/hospitals will be reduced by $500 Billion to help pay for a public option under ObamaCare.

It's important, for you and your Grandma, that ObamaCare be defeated.

CdC,
Medicare supplement rates are by zip code. $135 might cover a med Sup and Rx plan in Bumdum, Iowa. But in the southern half of Florida you could not get a Med Sup plan B for $135. And an Rx Part D plan [cheapest] is $44. plus co-pays. My Rx plan equals $111.per month. Last year it was $63 including one more expensive drug. That drug was $33. per month and without it this year I'm up to $111. So a REAL increase from $30. pm to $111. pm in one year. That's a Government plan for you.
