One of the internet articles on the subject of switching back to Medicare from an Advantage Plan note numbers of older sicker seniors are doing so as the Advantage Plans employ limitations designed to cut costs making it economically unviable to remain with the Advantage Plan insurer. It cited a Brown University study discussed in the 10/2015 issue of Health Affairs. When seniors elect to do so, buying a Medicare Supplement policy as noted previously becomes extremely problematic. While it has been said it in another post, it bears repeating; the red white and blue Medicare Card and guaranteed right to buy a Medicare Supplement policy are " gold " when you become seriously ill. Give a lot of thought to " parking" that card in a drawer instead of your wallet.
