Medicare advantage is a scam. I have seen several patients who could not get treatment because they have medicare advantage. I have a relative who has medicare advantage and thinks it is great, but pays more copays than I do and is restricted as to what doctors he can use. I don't argue with him, or any medicare advantage people, but again, never met a healthcare professional that thinks medicare advantage is good insurance. If you think it works for you, good for you
