A major issue here is that the cost of alternatives to MA for lower income seniors is usually unaffordable. When offered a choice between a so called $0/ mo premium and several hundred dollars/mo for a Medi-gap plan, why would an uneducated consumer of any race choose the latter ? And how could even an educated senior consumer afford it unless they had a pretty middle class life and income? MA ads need to come with a health warning like cigarette packs.

And now many retirees with health coverage are being forced into MA plans. Really bad.
