17. We have had a MA plan since we both turned 65. That was 15 years ago.

We had an excellent plan in FL and when we moved to NC we were worried we would have a hard time one to match what we had. We did find one that is good, though not as good as FL. We believe we are fortunate to have what we have here in NC and also get a good portion of Part B back. That really makes a difference in the monthly budget. I know several people back in FL that have had many, many issues and they have always been satisfied with their MA plan.
