We got to chose top notch facilities, providers, therapists and didn't have to jump through approval hoops from private insurance companies. Perhaps you missed an early thread from another poster in which a surgeon indicated his patient was refused TKR care even though the x-ray showed bone on bone.
Why do you think Drs and medical centers are beginning to drop patients with advantage medicare? Private insurance companies on the back side controlling expenses to enhance their profits are the answer. If original Medicare is eliminated and everyone is pushed into the private insurance companies advantage program, you'll really see Drs dropping advantage Medicare patients.
