If you have any medical issues in the last 2 years, these supplement plans will not accept you.

So if your advantage plan goes south, or they eliminate all the freebies or raise your prices, you shouldn’t get a free pass into a supplement plan, you shouldn’t go thru their normal underwriting procedures to see if you qualify.
Not all advantage plans are going south, so you still can get an advantage plan but probably without the freebies.

Also, plan f participants pay more that plan g clients because there are many more plan g clients to spread out the costs. A friend my age pays over 2x more for his plan f the Han I pay for plan g.

May I suggest you go back and watch the video. Pay close attention starting at minute mark 17.00. Sounds like some people are going to have the rules waived for 2026.
