I wonder how folks who are used to Blue Cross would feel about switching to that as our national program. In my own case, the university's health insurance program is top of the line state blue cross. At least that's what we are told and we are also told that all the administrators have precisely the same plan. And since there has been a weak tendency for some of those positions to be filled by faculty members, I suspect it's so. Given that, my transition was smooth. I get the same benefits by having the supplement plus medicare. So I don't see a difference. At least not a qualitative one. But my guess is, and this is my point, the many, many folk out there who either don't have my level of a plan or can't afford any plan, would find medicare to be mind blowingly good.
