Medicare Supplement Plans, aka Medigap plans, are one possible target of a budget reduction effort.
I really don't see the logic in this. They are saying that Medigap plans increase unnecessary doctor visits because seniors don't have to pay. Huh? They are paying for Medicare, and the Medigap insurance! Medigap is a way to limit their risk for the high cost of health care for the portion that Medicare doesn't cover, not a means to go to the doctor more! Anyway, who enjoys going to the doctor? It isn't like it is fun???
