Get Medicare! No to Medicare Advantage. It’s perfume-covered doo-doo that’ll bankrupt or kill you.
We-The-People run Medicare for no profit. Executives and stockholders profit from preying on us via Medicare Advantage. They demand bonuses and profits. That means less healthcare for you.
Medicare: Yes – Medicare Advantage: NO
Summary:
One should not choose Medicare Advantage. Its deceptive appeal and hidden risks harm those who choose it. While it may seem attractive due to its lower upfront costs and added perks like gym memberships, these plans are ultimately designed to maximize corporate profits at the expense of patient care. Seniors should stick with traditional Medicare for better access to healthcare providers, fewer restrictions, and protection from financial exploitation.
Medicare Advantage plans use appealing perks to lure seniors but come with hidden costs and restrictions.
Private insurers prioritize profit, leading to delays or denials of necessary care through practices like prior authorization.
Switching back to traditional Medicare from Medicare Advantage can limit access to Medigap coverage, leading to higher costs.
Advertised benefits such as gym memberships and dental care distract from the plan’s healthcare limitations.
Traditional Medicare provides broader access to providers and more reliable coverage without corporate interference.
Medicare Advantage is a corporate scheme that preys on seniors, prioritizing shareholder profits over patient care. While these plans promise lower costs and flashy benefits, they limit access to necessary healthcare, impose bureaucratic hurdles, and leave patients vulnerable to financial distress. Choosing traditional Medicare is not just a safer healthcare choice—it’s a stand against corporate greed and a system that values human life over profit.
