Overview
Myth: Medicare covers everything after 65. In reality nothing is covered at 100%, and Part B leaves an uncapped 20%.
How it works
Myth: All carriers sell different Plan G benefits. Benefits are standardized; premiums and rate history are not.
What to watch for
Myth: You can add a Medigap plan any time. Outside open enrollment or a guaranteed issue right, health questions usually apply.
What to do next
Myth: The cheapest premium today is the cheapest plan. Rate history and rating method matter over a twenty-year retirement.
