There are many more if you didn't like that one.

As for "Medicare" C, I've seen first hand how awful things can get when needed procedures are denied, or someone has to go to a rehab 100 miles from home and family because no local rehab wants to deal with the coverage restrictions of "Advantage" private insurers.

Instead of getting angry with the messenger, you may want to do some research before the next enrollment period. And maybe not give up actual Medicare in favor of a for-profit insurer.

Best wishes to you.
