You are indeed giving up traditional Medicare when you sign up for C with a private insurer.

But you have already said you don't want to hear the truth, so I'm not going to bother to try explain further to you.

However, I encourage anyone considering an Advantage plan to do their careful due diligence. Right wing politicians and insurance companies love it for a reason.
