Congresswoman explains Medicare Advantage Scam in five minutes.

27. My supplemental plan covers dental, hearing and vision.

Not 100%, but it's better than nothing. I will stick with traditional Medicare, even though I think Part D is the biggest rip-off in the world. I'm good with the rest of it.

My mother was on Medicare and had the same supplemental plan I have now (Blue Cross). She had lung cancer, COPD and AFib. She went through one round of chemo and two rounds of radiation. She was in the hospital twice and spent over four weeks in rehab. One of her "Explanation of Benefits" statements was 12 pages long and the bottom line said she owed 0.

I have a friend who has Medicare Advantage and she just raves about all the benefits she gets for next to nothing. She's had both hips replaced. So who knows? I just don't trust Medicare Advantage. Anything they push on us that hard has to benefit them more than it'll benefit us. My two cents.
