Cost or convenience is always the driving force.
If you're willing to pay enough to have a Medicare Supplemental, you are in control of your healthcare.
If you want to save a few bucks and go with Medicare Advantage, an Insurance company is in charge of your healthcare.
This is not a complicated or mysterious subject.

Wrong!
You're painting with a broad brush, never a good idea.
For us it was about value not cost.
We chose UHC Advantage because of the overall package that includes vision, dental and the wellness benefits.
Many of us did our homework and chose MA. It works for us. Btw, SHINE said it was a very good option.
Their provider network is nationwide and we were very happy with the in network providers available to us. We're part of The Villages Health and really like it. Now, does every doctor and hospital take UHC MA? No, but many excellent providers do. We know because we checked.
Btw, our out of pocket max is $3700. That's less than the max I had with my insurance when I was working.
