You go on medicare advantage while you are healthy. Then, when you start having some health issues that require expensive procedures, etc., you switch back to medicare with supplemental and expect the supplemental to pick up the difference. Of course, you haven't been paying for that supplemental when you were not needing healthcare as much, so the insurance was making money. Now that you have more healthcare expenses, the insurance company needs to charge you a higher premium to offset your increased costs to them.
