"I’d go so far as to say that whoever made up the word labyrinthine must have spent a day navigating Medicare options." 😂😂 Great piece, Charles...I'm going to reread this carefully. Thank you for doing all this work to explain it to us...I had advantage for 90 days and didnt like it...but I do need to investigate more thoroughly.

Thanks, Susan. Just remember, I’m not proffering financial or insurance advice. :-) I’m not an expert. Not by any stretch. These are my observations from fighting through the labyrinth. And you travel a lot. Medicare Advantage is definitely NOT for you.

Thanks for the comment, David. And for reading. I know it was a long post! I do hope someday we can put together a government that wants to keep it simple. Full Medicare for All, no considerations about things like pre-existing conditions, etc. I don’t know how other nations with universal healthcare handle things like cost overruns and unnecessary procedures, but they clearly do. There are surely good examples from which we can borrow. But I am realistic. I know we are far away from this ideal.
