Still don't know what my premium will be, with 20 days left in Open Enrollment in Medicare

5. Is this your first year on Medicare?

And yes, the open enrollment is to figure out if you want to change plans. Keep in mind, that those who work for the Federal Government have exactly the same open enrollment thing every year, which is in no small part why federal employees do not understand why normal people who work for a private company, have almost no choices in their health care plan.

In any case, I can only tell you this: I have an Advantage plan, which works out very well for me. That might not be so good for you. Go on line and see what you can find out. And maybe call various providers (which is what I did when I first went on Medicare and was figuring out the Advantage plans.)

Unfortunately, all this confusion is part and parcel of our stupid health care system. It's up to the consumer, you in this case, to resarch the plans and figure out what will work for you.

And all I can say is, Good Luck.
