(6,764 posts)The advantage programs are and have been siphoning off billions from original Medicare. Yes they are busting the Medicare budget and that is a major reason original Medicare has not been able to compete.
My Medicare Advantage program and possibly yours are extremely costly to Medicare although they were supposed to save money. The money savings never happened but the programs have ballooned and are costing Medicare billions unnecessarily.
If they continue as is, they will destroy Medicare and then will be able to squeeze their members even more and increase profits even more. No one will be able to stop them. We will have been divided and conquered.
These companies are not capitalist enterprises. These are simply feeding off taxpayers. They saw a pot of money in Medicare and they wanted it for themselves
.and they got congressional Republicans to hand over our money to them
