In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, co

vering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster. The remains of this extensive wood
are still to be seen at the noble seats of Wentworth, of Warncliffe Park, and around Rotherham. Here haunted of yore the fabulous Dragon of Wantley; here were fought many of the most
desperate battles during the Civil Wars of the Roses; and here also flourished in ancient times those bands of gallant outlaws, whose deeds have been rendered so popular in English song. Such being our chief scene, the date of our story refers to a period towards the end of the
reign of Richard I, when his return from his long captivity had become an event rather wished than hoped for by his despairing subjects, who were in the meantime subjected to every species of subordinate oppression. The nobles, whose power had become exorbitant during the reign of Stephen, and whom the prudence of Henry the Second had scarce reduced to some degree of subjection to the crown, had now resumed their ancient license in its utmost extent; despising the feeble interference of the English Council of State, fortifying their castles,
increasing the number of their dependants, reducing all around them to a state of vassalage, and striving by every means in their power, to place themselves each at the head of such forces as might enable him to make a figure in the national convulsions which appeared to be impending.

Mrs. Willard wants to know generally how the benefits under Original Medicare might compare to the benefits package of a Medicar
11111nata11111 [884]

Medicare from the Govt has parts A and Part B

A pays the hospitals and no charge fee to you.

B pays doctors and medical services you pay this year, 2021, $148 per month.

Together they pay about 80% of all expenses. You're liable for the 20% GAP in coverage.  Now two parts

Original Medicare

Then you can buy, and we always recommend GAP insurance called Medicare Supplements.  There are many forms of GAP coverage.

Private insurance firms have gap programs.  A plan known as G pays most if not all of the GAP.  You generally don't have to change doctors or providers.

Medicare Advantage

"Private Insurance Companies" pay the GAP and sometime have more benefits as you have seen on the TV commercials that SCREAM at you to get the Medicare Advantage Program.  You are required to use their network of providers and hospitals.  

Bottom-line  Make sure your providers are in the network of the Medicare Advantage plan, if not find a plan that does or changes providers.

Medicare Advantage plans are less expensive and you can save money but just make sure.  You also have the right by law to go back to "The Original Medicare Plan."
