Free Ca$h...when i buy 'Indy-Health'---- what's up with these Ads ?

[Mike Siegal]

I'm seeing these ads all over YouTube. Some cute Blonde is boasting about getting $1400 mth on top of her health insurance plan. NEXT, some dude is saying 'he gets $550 mth' FOR doing nothing but obtaining health insurance.

A LEFTOIDS Dream... Money for Nothin~!

What's the catch... what am i missing here?

Thoughts / Comments ?

Caveat, not an agent

Probably a rewards program for doing things like completing questionaires, doing wellness visits, and doing various screenings. The Lasso MSA (a type of Medicare Advantage plan) has a small scale rewards program like that.

I looked closer at the ad,.... Dude was waving a 'Flex Credit Card?'

Flex cards give out $500-1500 mth???

Potential YouTube sponsored scam (ironic that they not only don't censor these, they likely profit from the ad revenue)

I have seen warnings about these in articles, especially the last 3-6 months

If you are being warned, perhaps you should stop posting them. Otherwise, you might trigger Elon Musk and then you will really be sorry.

@OP -- comments from posted article

It is exceptionally rare to get more than $500 on a flex card.

and

If you receive a flex card, you will only be able to use that card to purchase items that a licensed physician has deemed medically necessary. It is very unlikely that you will be able to get a prescription for clothing or gas.

Caveat, I am not an agent nor do I own a Medicare Advantage Plan or Flex Card.

I observed this comment in the article too:

However, what I found in the course of my research is that these cards can be far more harmful than helpful for low income seniors.

I think that may be inappropriately projecting negativity about a situation onto the card itself.

I am unclear about whether the cards provide a Monthly or an Annual $ benefit. However I do think they have the potential to be useful to a low income senior.

I don't think the card itself is a scam and I think the article may contain inappropriate reporting to suggest that it is. I also think that it may be inappropriate reporting to also suggest, by implication, that Medicare Advantage Plans are a scam. (They are different than Original Medicare but I don't think that makes them a "Scam".)

I think the article at least could, and maybe should, be more clear that the "Scam" is in the marketing of the products, not the products themselves.
