All those great coverages from advantage plan earlier years will be diminished or disappear and we will all be fighting the insurance companies for treatment or sub care. I personally believe it's in the works. Why else are they spamming us with those **** ads from August to December. Some providers are already refusing Advantage patients due to treatment restrictions.

To me, it kinda feels like someone offering to rake your lawn for nothing while you watch. In the interim, they have someone sneaking in the backdoor to rob you.
I'm not sure what the long range goal is, but the cost to the government is about 6% more for Advantage Plans, over traditional Medicare ... all of which goes to the Insurance Companies. I guess that's an improvement, it was 17% more expensive, 15 years ago.
