Stay with Medicare and get a supplemental plan rather than a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Yep, the rub with the Advantage plans is that the insurance company has to approve whatever and it is not in their self interest to help out. They’re going to do the bare minimum they can get away with.

I’d agree with this in most cases. Certainly for those where there is the possibility of some long-lasting medical condition. While, as I understand it, MAP offers lower premium costs, and low co-pays, the added costs of those charges that don’t get paid for major surgery, chronic conditions, etc. can get to be very high.
