Perhaps Advantage plans do not address the needs of people who need expensive medications or have medical conditions that are expensive to deal with.

If you are pretty healthy Advantage plans can work for you. I use Latanoprost eye drops for glaucoma which have a $0 copay. I do not use any other prescription meds. All of my surgeries & hospital bills have been covered. I pay a low co-pay for doctor visits but my PCP is $0 no matter how many times I see her. Gym memberships are $0. There are other freebies. I can't complain.
You can when they run out of money
