This topic has been going around and around for the last year or so.
I feel sorry for people that got an unforseen illness and felt the plan they were on or not on, didn't work for them.
MA plans are geared toward people who are basically healthy.
Medicare and supplements are geared for people who have a recurring condition or want peace of mind they will never see a bill.
We all don't know what the future holds in terms of health so we must be our own health advocate and select what plan might be better for a particular family.
I'll take GE's word for it that one can get to see whatever doctors they need, if they have a MA plan.
I have had a MA plan since turning 65 and never had an illness, (thank goodness). I have saved $3,000 per year for many years and that works for me. I have a $4500 OOP max with my MA plan.
I don't expect this post will help anyone to decide what best for them but everyone needs to do their own research and decide what plan fits their health needs.
