I agree with Scott's conclusion. And don't automatically choose United Healthcare just because AARP puts their name on its advertising. United Healthcare reportedly pays AARP $500 million a year for the endorsement. In California (maybe your state also) the Department of Insurance publishes a list of the pricing for every carrier in the state. That's how I learned that USAA may only be for veterans for other insurance, but it is available to everyone for Medigap coverage. I assume their price is so low because they don't advertise their Medigap coverage, don't pay for endorsement, and don't use outside brokers that have to be paid a commission.
My Christmas stress was dealing with 20 law firm partners in a firm of over 100 attorneys, each trying to maximize how much of the year-end financial pie they would get. My wife said I was in a bah humbug mood every Christmas season until I retired.
I assume you're familiar with the better known Big Mac Index--"THE BIG MAC index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their “correct” level." In Turkey, it currently costs $1.86 for a Big Mac. In Switzerland, it is $6.98
