what is happening with the so called medicare "advantage" plans was forecasted last year. The advantage providers, in my opinion, handed out snow jobs to keep their clientelle from leaving...then.
Not a surprise at all. The surprises will continue as the naieve try to maintain the coverage the used to have with who ever, company.
What was not forecast, at least for public consumption, was the new health care law was going to so distort the system that nothing would work like it used to and costs would increase astronomically such that the providers would be scrambling to hedge the increases....including insurance companies and the example set by IBM.....dumping millions more than anticipated into the system.
AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.....WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR.
the best and cheapest health care coverage you will ever have is what you have right now. To retain parity for the coverages we all enjoy....WE WILL ALL BE PAYING MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
