Saying all advantage plans are bad is like saying all doctors are good.
Yes, they're for profit, but so is every doctor and the majority of hospitals.

The managed care companies make a lot of money off Medicare Advantage as long as Congress keeps increasing their reimbursement. It is true that in order to maximize benefits, you have to stay in their network, but most providers are participating with United. Medicare Advantage must cover everything Medicare does, and they have many additional benefits. If your doctors don’t participate, you are probably better off with traditional Medicare with a supplemental. But if they do participate, Medicare Advantage should be just fine for most people.
