And people don’t even realize that part c aka advantage plans are actually “for profit private insurance companies “and not Medicare.
Taxpayers are handing over at least $12,000 annually for each of the 32 million that are enticed to try part c. Part c profits could not exist without this blatant corporate welfare.
Please choose original/traditional Medicare.
These dollars need to go to providers and communities that actually take care of our health and not Wall Street.
It seems to me that many seniors choose "Medicare Advantage" Plans to avoid paying the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover. Medigap plans to cover this 20% are expensive and so Medicare Advantage Plans seem to be a cheaper alternative. Those of us in favor of single payer or Medicare for All should adopt eliminating the 20% medigap as a near term goal. It should slow the growth of so called "Medicare Advantage" plans and would be politically very popular
Politicians think there are advantages to privatizing but Medicare Advantage is like no care, they literally do not pay independent pharmacies to make and dispense prescriptions.

It seems like the best option for healthcare coverage as you turn 65 is to sign up for traditional Medicare plus Medigap.
