Medicare itself only pays 80%, A and B cost is about $90.00 a month.Your ok if you have V.A. as a back up or primary but if not than my advise is back up health care for about $170.00 monthly to cover the final 20%. 20% of 10 days intensive care plus DR's. plus hospital , plus therapy, plus prescriptions, plus years of follow up,plus every thing else is a large chunk of money. Be smart, talk to some one that can tell you the ins and outs(not an insurance company)! Could have bought a couple of Pontiacs. Hard to buy insurance with a pre existing condition. Get it while your healthy. I was lucky and got in under the wire for back up on some things. I forget how many months there is to purchase after 65.
