Medicare Supplement Plan G is the most widely chosen Medigap plan — and for good reason. It covers nearly every Medicare gap except the Part B deductible ($283 in 2026), which means almost zero surprise bills and no copay headaches.
But Plan G comes with a real trade-off: higher monthly premiums, and a history of more aggressive rate increases over time. In this video, I walk through exactly how Plan G works, what it covers, who it tends to be a good fit for — and who ends up overpaying for coverage they don't need.

We didn’t have to worry about all those pitfalls built into the healthcare system. So she got the best treatment and doctors available. I never saw a single bill only once in a while someone would ask about payment and when they heard Plan G there were no more questions. I never had to worry about that stuff during a horrible time when I was witnessing the disease destroy her from the inside. Medical system doesn’t care what is happening to you or your spouse or family members they require payment and that’s it. Her costs for that disease had to be millions of dollars and not one bill. There’s so much to take care of after someone dies and not having to deal with medical bills and calls made it so much easier.
He is 92 has numerous health issues. Last winter he slipped on the ice and fractured his back.
He was in the hospital 2 weeks and in Physical Therapy for 4 months. It covered all these expenses.
