This has been going on for some time now and has only been exacerbated by the passing of the ACA.

I work, and have extensive training on MediGap and Medicare Advantage programs. I know that many providers have stopped accepting Medicare Advantage and other programs. I was using the "may, might, could, possibly" words as irony for the other post.
Since my group (over 50 active and retired school employee and municipal employee associations) have identified and come together for the best group programs with the best premiums, I help many association members, and my position enables me to accept non-association members into the huge group by joining as associate members.
