Medicare Advantage plans are popular, but some seniors feel trapped when ill : Shots - Health News : NPR
If you have chronic conditions, you should consider a Medicare supplement, if you are able to afford it. I do not have chronic conditions and will be selecting a Medicare Advantage plan when I turn 65. The Villages Health system does not accept traditional medicare. They do accept certain advantage plans. And I want to use the Villages Health system.
