I saw an article recently that over half of people of whom Medicare is available to are now on Medicare Advantage plans, which are actually private plans that take all your Medicare allotment and may not provide better coverage

It is shocking, but I guess 24/7 commercials on Fox News work 😞

It is a huge scam and the government never should have allowed it…but capitalism at all costs, I guess.

How the hell do you get off Medicare Advantage?!

My understanding is you can’t. Once you sign up for it you forfeit Medicare.

Oh snap. When I hit that age I will make sure never to touch that.
