Medicare Advantage or Supplement - Which "costs" more base on usage rates?

[@JoiaGibble]

America has forgotten that HEALTHcare is supposed to help keep you healthy. 17:34 - yes, it's irresponsible for researchers to draw conclusions of "why" from data alone. Correlation is not causation is a principle of science.

The Medicare advantage plans primary goal is to save money. They do not only put up guard rails they straight out deny care. I work in a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation and the advantage Plans allow a much shorter length of stay than Medicare with a supplement. For example, they may decide that a patient who had a stroke is ready to go home after two week rehabilitation before they’re even walking independently. As a healthcare provider, I believe the advantage plans are great for healthy people and people who cannot afford the secondary insurance. But otherwise in my industry traditional Medicare is always a better choice.

Congratulations! You have managed to come up with the worst medicare video I have ever seen! And I have seen hundreds of them!

[@leonardquirino2320]

Please elaborate. Was the video bad or the study?

[@user-nm5yv6ij8w]

@@leonardquirino2320 The subject matter. You seem to be looking out for saving the government money instead of looking out for the individual who has to decide which form of medicare (ORIGINAL W/SUPPLEMENT VS. ADVANTAGE) is best for THEM. We certainly wouldn't want to commit moral hazard, would we? Shame on you.

Can you do advantage first when you sign up then switch medi gap after 4 years of retirement.

Yes, but you may have to go through underwriting depending on your state and insurance company rules.
