Stay away from Medicare Advantage Plans. They are designed to ration healthcare by rationing the money that is made available. The “traditional” Medicare plans (A through F) have no such constraints. Medicare Advantage is fine so long as you are reasonably healthy, but become problematic if you get sick. I actually, in a perverse way, should thank Obola for Obolacare, because it caused my MA Plan to be cancelled. Under Medicare insurance rules, once you’re in a plan, you cannot, in the future move to a better one (presumably a cost containment motive). But when my MA Plan got cancelled, it opened up the opportunity to upgrade to a better plan. Regular Medicare Plans were then available to me by reason of the cancellation. Otherwise, I’d have been stuck with MA whether I liked it or not. Neither of us have had a single hiccup with Aetna, with the exception of a couple of instance where our doctors had incorrectly coded a service.
