How a 55+ plan compares to the two routes most Ohio seniors take.

The big three carriers all advertise a special plan for folks 55 and older, but here in Ohio the picture is not as simple as the ads make it sound. One of those plans you genuinely cannot get in Portage County. This guide sorts out what is real, what is Florida-only, and what most Ohio seniors actually end up doing. If you would rather I just look at your bill and tell you straight, the number is (330) 200-8042.
