Medicare (Dis)advantage Plans

Medicare Advantage is a scam

Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) are run by for-profit companies that make billions off of taxpayers like you and me These plans limit your choice of doctors, deny care, and force physicians to

use less effective medications for your eye issues. This can be critically important for patients with macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion or diabetic retinopathy.

These plans harass physicians for medical records and then use those records to commit fraud by claiming their patients are sicker than the average Medicare patients receive more money from the government. Money that is never used to provide better service, but instead is used to pay top

executives and their shareholders on Wall Street. All while tricking patients into signing up for these plans by bribing primary care physicians and brokers to enroll patients, and providing “perks” like free dog grooming or free glasses. Nowhere do they mention poorer service, longer waits or

denied care.

Some patients can’t afford traditional Medicare and enroll in these plans to avoid paying for a supplement. If you are in this group, consider Medicare and Medicaid if you qualify. Also, look at all supplement plans, some are quite affordable. Whatever you do, know your choices and understand the consequences.
