<p>My 85yo mom has asked me to look into her Medicare supplement plan, as the cost of the plan her former employer offers (& covers a modest $100/month of the cost) has skyrocketed for 2014. </p>
<p>I’m getting a crash course on Medicare, but could use advice on what might be the best alternatives for her. Is it true the premiums are set state-by-state, so it’s easy to compare prices? She is very healthy - never goes to the doctor and takes no meds.</p>
