We will be extremely upset, and vote accordingly, if the politicians eliminate the supplement option and shoehorn us into Advantage plans.

People are forgetting how it used to be. It was the ACA (AKA Obamacare) that got rid of those draconian clauses about pre-existing conditions that were like landmines in some individual policies.
I sure don’t want a government that can put us up for grabs by insurance companies, whether before or after Medicare.
We have got to pay attention to what’s between the lines in those “promises” to save Medicare. Who for? The insurance companies, their CEOs and stockholders? That is exactly what will happen if Medicare is totally privatized. Our choice of plans will be gone forever. Insurance companies will have what is basically a monopoly. If that happens, we should then buy stock in ice floes……
