totally off base, This is about money only. The advantage plan provides a revenue stream for these organizations far better than what they were getting. There are several companies making a pretty penny off the advantage plan. They have quotas, check offs, etc. As for demographics there really isn't a lot of people (in comparison) on the original Medicare.
