There's nary a person in the United States of Medicare age, that isn't overweight, has high blood pressure, heart issues or all 3.

There's hardly a 65 year old in America, who's not taking medication of some sort, on a regular basis.

There's one and only one reason for have a Medicare Advantage Plan and that's COST.

Everyone is entitled to get whatever kind of Medicare or Insurance plan they want, but the folks who come on here and promote Advantage Plans because they're a "better plan", are simply disingenuous.

People are entitled to make a value decision, based on a cost/benefit analysis ... that's their right. Anyone who argues Medicare Advantage Plans offer better healthcare, are simply rationalizing their cost saving decision.
