4. My fear is that Medicare will be eliminated and everyone will be forced into Advantage programs.

Once that happens, all seniors will see premiums rise substantially, the Medicare taxes we all paid for many years will simply disappear into the federal budget, and we will be subject to cancellation at the whim of insurance executives. A friend who lives in a small community and has an Advantage plan is now having to pay out-of-network costs for all medical care because the insurer dropped the major healthcare providers in the community from their network. It’s an easy way for the insurer to make more money.
