You are talking about your personal cost of a Medicare Advantage plan. (Yes many Advantage plans have lower up front costs)
I am referring to the cost of these plans to the Medicare Program, the huge government fund that is supported by the Medicare tax on wages and other monies. This is where all the money comes from to pay for Medicare recipients healthcare. It is a huge government expenditure and it needs monitoring so costs don’t spiral out of control.
