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 |
I have traditional Medicare and my agent told me to not switch to an Advantage plan because everyone will be required to be on Advantage plans in the future. He said I'd be able to stay on traditional if I kept it. I go to doctors at Moffitt Cancer in Tampa and they do not accept Advantage plans. He thought traditional Medicare was better.
