Plan F is the most comprehensive, covering all gaps in Original Medicare. Plan G is a popular alternative to Plan F, with slightly lower premiums. Plan N offers cost-sharing features, making it more affordable for some.<\/p>\n<p>Plan C provides extensive coverage but is not available to new enrollees.
