		<description>Mr. Elliott,Letters via USPS sounds so novel in the internet age even if it is one letter produced for many, but it doesn&#039;t sound like a pen-pal relationship. Can one write back to the author of the letter?</description>

		<description>Can I simply say what a relief to find somebody who truly knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You definitely know the best way to bring a difficulty to light and make it important. More people have to read this and understand this facet of the story. I cant believe youre no more common because you positively have the gift.</description>

		<description>The answer is confusing as a result of the author lumping together Medicare Supplement plans and Part D Rx coverage under the general description &quot;Medicare supplemental plans&quot;.  Medicare Supplement plans can be purchased, switched or dropped at any time, but underwriting for health issues will determine eligibility if purchased other than during an &quot;open enrollment&quot; or &quot;guarantee issue&quot; period.  Part D Rx plans (and Part C Medicare Advantage) can only be purchased or dropped during certain times of the year, in addition to any open enrollment or guarantee issue periods that apply.</description>

		<description>I agree with Ralph.
1. Medicare supplementl insurance, also known as Medigap is NOT subsidized. Its private insurance. Individuals ARE responsible for the full cost of the plan.
2. There is no &quot;free&quot; supplemental insurance [Medigap] and prices can exceed $200/mo.
3. Open enrollment between Nov &amp; Jan does not apply to supplemental insurance [Medigap].
The article seems to be confusing it with Medicare Advantage [Part C] insurance.</description>

		<description>This website is horrible and full of false statements.  Individuals can change medicare supplement plans anytime they want. If out of a guaranteed issue medical underwriting will be required to qualify. 

Medicare supplements are a completely different program then Medicare advantage.  
I can&#039;t believe this garbage advice is posted.</description>
