Oh, Rs already at work to muddy waters on who wants to "cut" Medicare

2. Medicare Advantage is not Medicare. It's private insurance.

The scare tactics could be an attempt to spook the herd. Based on the steady barrage of advertising I see for MA plans, I suspect there’s a plot to increase demand, destroy traditional Medicare, and replace it with these (mostly) for-profit plans. Eventually, enough seniors will have been duped into signing up for MA plans, and traditional Medicare will be hollowed out to a shell of its former self—small enough to drown in a bathtub. Then we’ll be at the mercy of the insurance companies once and for all.
