NEW! Oh, Those Medicare Advantage TV Commercials (from One Not a Fan of Medicare Advantage)!

This opinion piece on Medicare Advantage concerns the “hard-sell” that private insurance companies make this time of year on behalf of “Medicare Advantage,” the private insurance alternative to Original Medicare.  I record this podcast episode to warn seniors to do their homework, and ask the question, why are insurance companies so anxious to sell their Medicare Advantage plans and not the Supplement plans that offer the insurance companies so little of a profit margin? Hmm…maybe the question answers itself.  TV commercials give only one side of the story, the private insurance companies’ side.  They don’t lie, but they leave out much that seniors need to know before making what could be a very bad choice.
