In reply to the discussion: Large Hospital Groups Cancelling Contracts with Medicare "Advantage" Carriers [View all]dpibel
(3,591 posts)13. Where are all the people being taken advantage of?
This is the twice or thrice weekly thread warning that the end of the world is Medicare Advantage, and that the big problem is Advantage plans provide almost no meaningful coverage.
Yet, in every such thread, there's someone like you, who's had MA for years and says it's done them right.
If MA is so damned bad, I'd expect many people on each thread telling their tales of woe.
And I have yet to see such. I'm sure there have been a few people who detailed complaints.
But really: Every thread should be all about "Yeah. MA screwed me, too."
And they aren't.

It wouldn't matter to me because the bottom line was $174. Maybe Medicare Advantage
