Recently several Medicare supplement carriers have announced price increases. Generally, around 10%. It seems everyone expected this increase.
That being the case, why is there no effect on Medicare advantage plans? There are still carriers offering zero premium plans and throwing in the drug plan along with health club memberships and other stuff.
How can all advantage plans afford this? I don't get the math. If premiums for Medicare supplement are increasing due to loss experience how do the Medicare Advantage plans escape this?
