Medicare supplements grow as seniors seek private plans
Millions of Americans over 65 plan to add private health insurance to Medicare. Officials estimate Medicare benefits starting July 1 will cover about half of the typical elderly couple’s hospital and medical costs, prompting many to seek additional protection. Blue Cross Blue Shield and major insurers report strong interest, while some firms drop out of the over-65 market. Despite savings, overall insurance prices will not fall much as hospital costs rise 2 to 5 percent yearly. Walter J. McNerney of Blue Cross notes savings are absorbed by rising costs.
