Medicare in one minute

Part A

Hospital stays. Usually free if you worked 10+ years.

Part B

Doctor visits & outpatient care. About $203/month in 2026.

Part C

Medicare Advantage—private plans that replace A & B, often with extras.

Part D

Prescription drugs. Your yearly drug costs are capped ($2,100 in 2026; 2027 cap not yet confirmed).

Medigap

Extra insurance that fills Original Medicare's 20% gap.

Original Medicare + Medigap

Higher monthly cost, but see any doctor in the U.S. and almost no surprise bills.

Medicare Advantage (HMO / PPO)

Low or $0 monthly cost and often dental/vision, but networks, referrals, and higher costs in a bad year.
