Advantage Plans are cheaper & give away "freebies" as you mentioned.

The fact that SHINE said "they're a very good solution for you, doesn't make them better or even equal to Medicare + a Supplemental. It means that in your particular financial/health position, it's a good option.

They're a cost based solution, for folks trying to save money. There's nothing else anyone needs to know about them.
I thought I had dispelled that myth in post #15. Oh, well, this is TOTV after all
