best Medicare insurance for people with chronic conditions

People with chronic conditions — diabetes, heart disease, COPD, cancer — typically benefit most from Medicare Supplement (Medigap) coverage. The 20% coinsurance on specialist visits, hospitalizations, and procedures can add up to tens of thousands of dollars without Medigap. Plan G covers 100% of Medicare-approved costs after the Part B deductible.
