'Our Seniors Deserve Better': Jayapal Demands End of All Medicare Privatization Schemes

9. You have a point, but there are things that need to be fixed

The overselling Medicare needs to stop. In addition, it might be good if Medicare defined packages for Medicare Advantage like they do for Medigap. All Medigap plans with the same letter provide exactly the same thing making selecting a plan easy.

I agree with another poster that the name should be changed. In addition, there should be some regulation on the constant misleading ads. We have all heard them. You might be missing some Medicare options. See if people in your zip code qualify. They then speak of money back to your SS, drugs, dental etc.

It sounds like all these are additions to the Medicare you have. Not said is that you lose anything. As Medicare pays a significant part of this, they should demand the right to be able to create an explanation of these options for an informed choice, There is nothing wrong with a cheaper discounted more comprehensive (but more limited in other ways) plan as long as it is easy to see the trade offs.
