(7,411 posts)On consideration I agree "outlawed" is surely too strong. However, I would like to see them all go away. Phased out. We should be supporting Medicare, not private insurance. It is the national best interest to do so, in my humble opinion.
We need a single national health plan. Advantage plans don't get us there. If they want to make money off old age let them phase into gap plans instead.
I'm pretty hard headed on that point. Unreasonable even. You'll unfortunately have to give me room to disagree with you on that.
Edit to add my husband was on UAW Advantage plan. He got absolutely great care. They even reimbursed him for $76 of the medicare premium taken out of his social security check. Even with that, the math at the end of every year would have been cheaper with Medicare & Gap & Drug.
