The Coalition to Promote Choice for Seniors will continue to work to ensure that beneficiaries retain access to the Medigap benefits they have come to enjoy, including first-dollar coverage options in standard plans.

Seniors Are Making the Medigap Choice

Annual surveys have repeatedly shown that the security and peace of mind provided by Medigap rate most important for seniors.  In fact, according to a national survey of Medigap enrollees, nearly 90 percent are satisfied with their coverage and more than three-quarters believe it is a good value. 

A 2010 analysis by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that cost-sharing increases are associated with adverse outcomes for vulnerable populations.  Further, increases in cost-sharing for the elderly may result in higher overall Medicare program costs.

Support Policies that Promote Choice for Seniors

The Coalition is committed to protecting seniors' access to the Medigap coverage they have come to rely on to help control or manage out-of-pocket health care expenses. We pledge to work with you to ensure that seniors continue to have the peace of mind provided by Medigap.
