Doc, why is that unfortunate? Insurance would be way too expensive if people didn’t have to pay for it until they need it. If everyone was allowed to get a less expensive Advantage plan when they are healthy, and then switch to a Medigap plan without underwriting when they come down with a serious and expensive illness, traditional Medicare supplemental plan prices would skyrocket.
