Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage.

[Vinca]

12. All I can tell you is I have straight Medicare and I just had hip replacement surgery that

costs tens of thousands of dollars. I paid about $2,500 out of pocket. My impression of Medicare Advantage is that it's just another form of private insurance that will tell you who you can see, not who you want to see and in the end you'll probably be on the hook for more than I just paid having plain, old Medicare. Just my impression from talking to others.
