MA was sold heavily to Congress by insurance company lobbyists on the basis that it would save money over traditional Medicare.
Is Medicare Advantage a Failed Experiment? Experts Debate - MedCity News |
This topic was on Next Door and comments from people who are on a Medicare Advantage Plan total disagree with your analysis. I have never been denied procedures, that my doctor prescribe. It's a lot cheaper than standard Medicare, when you have to purchase a supplemental program to cover costs. In addition, I receive money back from my SS assessment for Medicare. Your source sites two experts who disagree on the topic. The source who is positive on Medicare Advantage made more sense and has better arguments to support its' existence.
