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!!!
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."

My Medicare Advantage plans have NONE of these problems. Period. You know NOTHING about Med C other than what you can cut and paste. I have plans where you can go ANYWHERE you want, including Mayo and Cleveland Clinic. As far as them "claiming" they are sicker, do you actually believe that the Feds do not have access to the ACA or MIB database? Buff, it shows EVERY SINGLE CLAIM that person has had. That is EXACTLY why it was developed. It's so a doctor can look at those codes and figure out that person health history. The government damn well knows how many claims and what those claims were for. How can the insurance company FAKE it? That is exactly what "My Chart" is, It's used by many hospital systems across the country. it uses the Epic health records system. if the idiots don't have the person, then personnel to run ACA efficiently they designed a **** system because to do it right would have tripled the cost. Just remember. Medicare Advantage plans are a gov't program administered by a CONTRACTED health insurance company. CMS can look at any claims they want.
