7. Correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody lost coverage because of changes to Medicare Advantage.

They simply moved into regular Medicare coverage. The Advantage Plans ran about 20% more than regular, with little discernible value to match.

Is this supposed to be the $4 million Romney claims lost coverage by virtue of the change?

And I believe the closing of the donut hole is also from the changes.

I usually try to research before I post, but as often as not, by the time I get it together it's old news.
I know we've got some DUers who can straighten me out - right off the top of their bright heads. I know Romney's full of s**t, but can someone help me with the facts?
