True, but as I understand it, Medigap is a supplement to Medicare that covers the 20 percent of coinsurance costs that Medicare doesn't cover. That can be a substantial amount of money that could bankrupt a lot of people. So, switching from an advantage plan to Medicare without Medigap could be a disaster for many people.
