If our government officials would spend our tax money wisely, there would be no need to siphon from SS. Alas, greed is the great motivator.

I’ll tell you what I say.  Medicare advantage is a ripoff. Insurance was my occupation before I retired. I bought a Medicare supplement policy because it made the most sense economically.  Every financial consultant comment I have read says buying the supplement instead of Advantage is the wiser financial move. Just think about it. How many advantage commercials do you see over supplement commercials? I’d guess  ten to one. Why would that be? Maybe because the advantage plans are more profitable to the insurance company.  I always thought the profit was because of the managed care aspect and the copays. You can’t go to your doctor of choice with advantage. You can’t see a specialist without a referral. With a supplement plan you can go see any doctor anywhere of any specialty as long as they take Medicare. No copays.

Besides, they aren’t cutting advantage. They are reducing the number of diagnosis codes that can apply to a medical condition. Why? Because the insurance companies were abusing the coding to collect extra money. If one has high blood pressure because of diabetes, why should the insurance company collect for diabetes and high blood pressure? Treating the blood pressure is part of managing the diabetes. 
 

Why the heck anyone would trust anything Breitbart says without verification is beyond me.
