The Medicare Advantage ripoff every American should know about

[Traildogbob]

72. Yea, I think

Some post here every time a negative news report is posted.
I got scammed into a plan. At retirement it is confusing with all the INS people coming at you.
I am lucky to have a State Teachers Retirement plan that WAS with Blue Cross Blue Shield. 70/30 but it’s some cap coverage and great Med coverage.
I am a Veteran with 30 percent disability. They see me for all other medical needs and require insurance for those, they only take what insurance pays.
At retirement and Agent with Blue Cross came to my house to sigh me up for a state retirement additional plan for free. Part of my retirement she said. After two years a the VA called me and said if I did not change my policy they would have to change my VA coverage. It was a Damned Advantage plan that over road my Medicare, and Retirement plan for gap.
Never told they had signed me into the Ad scam. It took me 6 months of letters documentation and the VA writing and fighting for me to get my Medicare back and drop the Advantage plan.
All that was 3 years ago. 2 years ago the State dropped BCBS and changed all coverage for current employees and retirees to a Medicare Advantage plan. I was told if I stay with 70/30 I would not be in Advantage. We will see. So when I see these pro advantage posts about major coverage for nearly free. I want to ask then to “check all the boxes with stop lights”.
Advantage lied and nearly screwed me out of my earned veteran benefits and retirement gap plan. I hate them passionately. They plan to destroy Medicare and are well on their way. After they succeed we will be screwed with a monopolized for profit system that will kill us all.
