I ended up on disability in 2003, been on Medicare ever since. Got a part D plan. Private insurance covers more, but the monthly cost of Medicare is cheaper.

Your private insurance costs more per month, than Medicare, but covers more things. Medicare for example has a doughnut hole for prescriptions and if you reach it, you aren't covered until you spend $3500 of your own money to get out of the hole on prescriptions. It used to just be for name brands but ACA added in new holes for generics. My medicine that is generic is $370/month until I am out of that doughnut hole. http://www.goodrx.com/ http://www.goodrx.com/ That website gave me a discount code that got my medicine down to $112/month instead. I'd recommend it for anyone having price issues with their medication.
