Seems like I would not like an Advantage plan, but I know people who have one and love it. At least I know more now about what questions to ask. Thanks y'all.

Yes I know folks here who have an Advantage plan with UHC and are very happy with it. I also know two in particular who are not very happy with it. One says she had to change her doctor because he didn't accept Advantage plans, and she felt the free gym membership was a waste because she never goes. Another needed a specialist and had to wait two months just for a consultation. Both of them thought the "free" medical supplies every month or quarter or whatever it is, is incredibly wasteful. They end up buying things their neighbors need and give the stuff to them. They'd rather see their premiums reduced, instead of getting credit for things they don't need.
