These Advantage plans were supposed to save the Medicare fund money by having drug choice restrictions, physician choice restrictions, specialist access restrictions, etc. Unfortunately, due to bonus payments and other unseen costs the average Advantage patient costs Medicare $321 more than a regular Medicare part B patient!

IMO Heath care is so —— up in this country and government spends trillions of taxpayers money all pocketed by insurance and CEO’s millions in bonus. But the insurance industry knows who to pander to to get there way. IMO nothing going to change unfunded health care debt will continue to rise and money will be printed and flow.
IMO all private insurance Outlawed, need single payer to government. At least the government will be making the billions or trillions and not private insurance Ponzi schemes.
