    Gloria, we have our Medicare Advantage Plan with Humana. The exact name is Humana Gold Plus (HMO). I do believe they have a plan almost identical to ours in Texas if that is where you are living. When we were thinking about moving to Needville (near Houston) where my daughter and her family were living I looked up our plan to see if they offered it over there. If I remember right they did have a plan like ours but there were some things that were a little different. Since the enrollment and change to other plans time period is coming up soon...we may see some changes in our plan but any changes should be showing too. Last year when we stayed with our plan, our allowance for prescription glasses went up $100 and our over the counter allowance changed from $20 per month to $30 every 3 months. Humana offers lots of different plans over here....but for this one we do not pay any extra premium besides the regular Part B that Medicare charges.

    I'm guessing you mean the total out of pocket costs. For 2017 it is $6,700. But we have not had to pay this yet either. The Plan we picked is the best one for us right now and we have been very pleased with it for the past two years. We might have to change to another plan if things change for us healthwise...that is why I am thankful every year we do have that option.

    I am going to leave this in here because some of you have replied to it, and it might even prove to be worth looking into, but this is a spam thread - better done than most, which is one of the reasons that I am leaving it, but Gary came here for the sole purpose of dropping this link. He is a Senior Account Executive at Motor Club America Enterprise, which is the company offering the plan, as you can see from his LinkedIn account, and he doesn't look fifty in his LinkedIn photo either. By way of disclosure, I am not the one who caught it but I would have. As I was reading the thread, I could see the link coming before it was dropped.

    I haven't had a job doing this recently but, in my struggle to earn a living online, I have taken jobs spamming forums. There is a right way to do it, a wrong way, and something in between. Gary chose the in between method. He didn't add the link in his first post, but waited until someone asked for it; of course, he led them there.

    The better way to do it is to join a forum, and make a series of unrelated posts over a period of a couple of weeks before dropping that link. In that way, you have sort of paid for the link by adding to the conversation. Had he posted an introduction, then maybe told us about his dog, a movie he had watched, and a favorite childhood memory - and if I were persuaded that he was actually fifty or older - I probably wouldn't have even mentioned the link.

    When I was doing that for pay, I would even post to a forum in between jobs from time to time, just in case I needed to drop another link on them, for another job later.

    Well @Garry Pompee....that wasn't very nice of you to spam us. But it's really your loss as you just missed out on a great bunch of people. :(

    The picture and his resume are probably fake. He is probably some ignert, unedjikated redneck sitting in a tumble down shack posting on a stolen computer.

    I knew it was Spam all along, and I kept thinking this is a really clever way of spamming, but I'd seen this poster before...on other forums using different names...
