Premature death is one such problem. A friend couldn’t get the proper care needed because the advantage plan would not pay for the medical facility she needed to go to to get the specialty care needed. This person died as a result.

On the upside, a relative of mine with lots of medical issues has an advantage plan that has been great for her. She lives in a state where the healthcare is excellent and the hospital system she is in is covered by her plan. And this system provides top notch care for just about any condition you can think of.
