I know a couple of people that are only still alive today because they could seek medical care anywhere in this country. Even before my SS was greatly increased and I was on a pretty tight budget the last thing I was going to give up was regular Medicare with the supplement.
I have known people that have no money problems at all and had no idea about many of the common issues with Medicare advantage plans. They switched to Medicare advantage not really understanding some of the disadvantages. For something as important as healthcare I was surprised that some intelligent people hadn’t done more research.
60 minutes actually did a segment on Medicare advantage plans and the problems people may have. They told a couple of peoples personal stories. What I’ve come to realize from reading on forums is that people that have a Medicare advantage plan sponsored by their employer as a retirement benefit tend to have much better advantage plans than the general public.
