Your full of crap and it dont matter if you like it or not those
MA plans are going down hard and by god I like it.
I cited the source on that. You can dispute whether the source was accurate or not since it was a BCBS affiliate, but the numbers I gave were the results of actual surveys talking to seniors, not just guessing. Whether you're an old man who never made it anywhere in life or some rookie who thinks he has the world figured out, you should probably actually check the sources before you start shooting off your mouth because you don't like something. The
MA program has done more harm then good. Maybe instead of giving out money to the car industry and running the cash for clunkers program Obama could have put some of that money into the Medicare program and expanded out the ages to 60 or 55 as a way of giving folks the option to buy into Medicare. If you look into the research folks have done on the
MA programs you'll find that folks on Medicare Advantage plans are more likely to get routine exams AND receive treatment earlier for things like cancer, diabetes, and other serious conditions. kff.org has TONS of information about this. As with anything there will always be problems, but seniors on Medicare Advantage programs get better access to healthcare than they would on Original Medicare, that's a documented fact. Take into consideration that most of the folks on
MA might not be able to afford a Med Supp or qualify for one, those are the folks that benefit most from
MA.
While we're on the subject, folks on
MA plans have all of the same rights to grievances and appeals that anyone on Original Medicare would have. If for some reason the plan denies a claim and digs their feet in the ground, the member can STILL file a complaint with Medicare directly and have Medicare review the claim.
Yoda, for a so called "veteran" you seem to be talking an awful lot about things you clearly don't understand. Speaking of your age, even if you were 55 Medicare wont be the same as it is today, the premiums will keep going up, deductibles keep being raised, and the program is still going run out of it's own funds before your 58. The way things are going you'd be lucky if the part b premium was only $200/month, part b deductible $200 and an inpatient hospitalization deductible of $1,400. How is that a good health insurance plan?
Medicare is a HUGE problem that needs more change than cutting MA plans or any other token gestures of "change we can believe in".

MGA recruiters on this forum do!
The implication being that any recruiters on here couldn't possibly have anything worth writing and have to copy content from other sources and pretend it's theirs? Interesting logic. So if I'm following you correctly, the only way someone could actually take credit for something the wrote and have you believe it's their work would be for them to disrespect the English language by using poor grammar and punctuation? I suppose that line of thinking falls in line with everything else you've been ranting about.
