I suspect all this is going to change anyway, especially if Medicare For All becomes a reality. If that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if Advantage plans went away altogether (and if so, I can't imagine that everyone on an Advantage plan being forced back onto MFA would be penalized in any way, it'd be chaos).
