Medicare advantage plans (aka insurers) were getting paid 105% of the average costs of regular Medicare. That's being reduced to 100%.

That's the only change. People on Medicare advantage plans will no longer get more expensive plans than what regular Medicare costs. Insurance companies can still offer them, but they have to make them more attractive than regular Medicare + Supplement.
