Thank you for this very good wake-up call for many. Great summary article. I have so many family who always tell me I should change from Medicare to MA where you pay nothing and get "free stuff". They don't understand why I have to pay an out of pocket deductible of 200 some odd bucks every year. Fortunately I had a very good big brother 2 years older than me that set me straight on the hoax when I turned 65.. Unfortunately he died of cancer 2 years ago. But he told me to NEVER go with MA plan, as almost all of his cancer treatments were covered by Medicare and his supplement, whereas they would not be approved if he had MA, and he wouldn't have been able to get back into traditional Medicare since he had cancer. It is shameful that this even exists. You pay into Medicare insurance your whole working life so it will be there when you need it and the greedy corps want to take your health coverage away and give you free band-aids and diapers every month!

Part c Medicare disadvantages only exist with corporate welfare. This welfare (taxpayer dollars) is mostly given to private for profit health insurance companies with Republican support.

I’m noticing the corporate welfare scam is expanding to giving Medicaid taxpayer dollars to private for profit health insurance companies.

All This money must go to providers and communities that actually care for our health.
