Interesting article by AARP here:
https://www.aarp.org/health/medicar...inal-medicare-survive-medicare-advantage.html
A couple of things I read were :
Although the article was about how the 2 systems compare and the differences between them, the focus was more about how traditional MC may need some changes to compete with Advantage plans.
I thought the article was fairly balanced between traditional plans and Advantage plans.

In 2023, more than half of Medicare’s 60 million beneficiaries who have both Medicare parts A and B are enrolled in an MA plan.
Ever since its inception in 1997, MA and its plans have been paid more to take care of Medicare beneficiaries than original Medicare pays. Early on, the idea was to give insurers a profit incentive to create and sustain MA plans. Now many experts say it’s time to stop those extra payments, something health insurers have strongly opposed.
