Are many middle class people forced to purchase supplemental insurance because of Medicare coverage?
I don't know that anyone is forced to buy supplemental, but if you can afford it, you are brain dead not to do so. I know personally, my supplemental company (BCBS of Texas) is losing money on me. If you are going to buy it, you need to do so when you become eligible for Medicare. At that point you are guaranteed acceptance. After that you lose that guarantee to be able to buy supplemental and might not be able to because of your medical history or current conditions. So, perhaps in that since you are forced?

I have Humana as a supplemental a Medicare Advantage Plan I can afforded and love it.
