If the savings aren’t being realized, I would expect that MA would cut benefits such as vision, dental, health club membership, OTC benefits, etc.

For those with MA, at what point would you drop it because there is no advantage.

For those with TM, what additional benefits would you need to switch to MA?
MA is being hugely over-billed. If someone wants to look at government benefit cheats, start there.....
