Since the inception of magic negro care (obama care) the number of doctors has remained relatively the same, but the people in administration have tripled. What does that tell you about the ridiculous increases in medical costs? It doesn't translate into better healthcare. Health insurance is not the same as healthcare!!!DeezerShoove » 07 Dec 2024, 8:10 am » wrote: ↑ They advertise the **** out of Part C, you know: Medicare Advantage.
Whose "advantage" is the question you have to ask. I have talked with many seniors.
Getting stuck in network providers and always needing a referral for the smallest stuff is time-consuming, confusing, not your choice, etc.
If they have to market Part C so heavily then it says "the product doesn't sell itself". Not so good.
Like being pushed into "coordinated benefits" when buying car insurance.
You may save a couple dollars now, but potential is high you will get **** if you need to use the **** someday.
Devil is in the details. As someone recently posted: ANSTAAFL.
The medical industry has almost as many lawyers as doctors. Very hard and expensive to win with those ****.
Don't spend that 50 dollars a month savings. You may need it for the fine print.
As to private health insurance corporations they take your premiums betting you will not get sick, you pay your high premiums betting you will get sick...who has more money you or the **** private insurance corporations?
Medicare Advantage plans are a scam and ripoff to Seniors!!!
"The bombardment of ads, letters, and brochures also don't tell you that Medicare Advantage plans, like most private insurance plans, typically have limited—and often inadequate—networks of doctors and hospitals. By contrast, almost all healthcare providers participate in the traditional Medicare program, which doesn't even have "networks."
What happens when seniors need care beyond a wellness check-up or lunch delivery? Some networks are so limited that seniors must pay hundreds or thousands of dollars if they travel out of state or need more substantive care. Because networks are usually confined to specific geographic areas, seniors can end up on the hook for the entire bill.
The private health insurance market, like the kind of coverage people get through their employer, doesn't see anywhere near the level of marketing that Medicare Advantage does. Why? Because many Medicare Advantage insurers have learned how to maximize revenue by claiming their enrollees are sicker than they really are. So they are effectively scamming everyone—from the federal government to taxpayers to seniors. To keep the federal dollars flowing, insurers donate millions of dollars to Congressional candidates and spend even more on lobbying. That goes a long way toward explaining why every year hundreds of members of Congress sign on to an industry-generated letter expressing support for the Medicare Advantage program. This despite numerous reports and studies over the years that document how insurers have rigged the program to get billions more dollars from taxpayers unlawfully."
