What is the downside to Medicare supplement plans?

Is medicare supplement plan F better than plan G?

Medicare Plan G provides almost the same coverage as Plan F, with one exception: it does not cover the Medicare Part B deductible. After meeting this deductible, Plan G covers: Medicare Part A deductible and coinsurance. Part B coinsurance or copayment.

Why switch from plan F to plan G?

If the premium savings on 'G' are greater than the deductible amount, then 'G' makes more sense than 'F'. Often, the premium differences between these two plans are $300/year or more. In some cases, the premium difference can be as much as $500/year, making 'G' a “no-brainer”.
