Original Medicare or another Advantage plan when yours leaves?

• Advantage plan: a network, a yearly limit on costs, drug coverage often included, extras like dental in some plans.
• Original Medicare: any doctor that accepts Medicare, no yearly limit unless you add a supplement, a separate drug plan.
• Supplement (Medigap): can pay much of what Original Medicare leaves, and has its own monthly premium.

Which doctors do I need to keep? How often do I use care? What can I afford each month and in a bad year? Answering those three usually points to one side.

• Your doctors and hospitals
• Your medicines
• What you pay monthly now
