We found going through AARP to be a better deal.

I have what I consider good individual policy now with Blue Cross. They grandfathered so they aren't affected by obamacare. At age 51 I pay 20% until I pay 4,000 per year. Then it pays 100% after that except,for meds. It always pays 80% of meds. I have a 15.00 copay for each Dr visit no matter the specialty. For this I pay nearly 330.00. Can I get the same or better coverage with Medicare and supplements for a comparable price. And do I have the option to keep it? I'll be talking to Blue Cross as the time nears. I'm not even sure of the dat Medicare becomes effective. I was approved in June and received my first check in November 2012 after the 5 month waiting time. Which do they use?
