34 Million Seniors in Medicare Advantage Plans Face Rude Awakening

39. It is really confusing, and it is meant to be.

My sister is a nurse practitioner, she spends several hours every week wrangling with "Medicare" Advantage companies. She is well aware of the difference. Recently her old office manager retired. Her office manager is a Republican who bought into the whole Advantage scam. She only had about one good year of retirement before she had multiple health problems. My sister tells me every week about the latest difficulties she is having with her Advantage plan. And yet, my sister sometimes slips and calls the Advantage plan "her Medicare plan".
