The Myth of 'Free-Market Health Care'

[SharonAnn]

6. The only reason that Medicare Advantage might save YOU money, is that the companies

that provide it are paid bonuses by the taxpayer and it actually COSTS MORE than traditional Medicare.

In addition to it costing more, Medicare Advantage plans cherry pick the seniors they want to cover. They do it by offering seminars at night (sicker people don't drive at night), in affluent areas (not poor areas), etc. They're very good at it.

But you're not getting better care under Medicare Advantage, it's just costing the taxpayer more and providing unearned profit to the insurance companies.
