And I'll bet that, in general, Original Medicare pays the provider more and reimburses claims in a timely manner vs. a Medical Advantage insurance company. My daughter expresses much frustration dealing with Aetna on behalf of her employer, a large for-profit hospital chain. No such problems with Medicare.
