Good news for seniors?

Starting Tuesday, seniors have fresh new options to lower the monthly premiums on Medigap health policies. The catch: the lower-priced plans make seniors pay more out of pocket.

. . . Experts said they doubted it's worth paying higher premiums for a new plan because the benefits are not much different than before. Also, the new plans are untested.

Typical of Obamacare - - a choice between lower premiums in exchange for reduced benefits and higher out of pockets, or higher premiums for the same coverage.

This is what they call "good news for seniors".
