I haven't received my letter yet, but I still have several months before 65. And yes, Jomar, they do owe their customers honesty.
I too am turning 65 this year. I too was told the only insurance they would accept was Medicare Advantage UHC. I was also more than a little surprised how they seemed to be pushing it. My wife's doctor even suggested she go with Advantage plan. Remember, that if you go with the Advantage Plan the health insurance makes the decisions on what treatments you receive not your doctors. I'm going to try to add a link. Not sure if it will let me. United Healthcare Oxford Medicare Advantage Denies Coverage - YouTube
You may have to copy and paste it. This was done by Good Morning America. It tells of one woman's experience with Medicare Advantage UHC.
