In reply to the discussion: Hospitals and doctors are fed up with Medicare Advantage. [View all]likesmountains 52
(4,100 posts)30. I'll share my experience
I had a Medicare Advantage Plan for 2 years and loved it. Dental care, vision care, $50 to spend on OTC stuff every 4 months, gift cards for having a physical and getting a mammogram. But, in my smallish town we were very short of specialists and I would be out of plan for most care if I developed any health problems. When one of my siblings suddenly fell ill and died 13 days later of lung cancer, i realized that I needed a better spectrum of providers. I wouldn't try to talk anyone out of their advantage plan if they are happy and healthy, but just know that if you get sick, you might be hung out to dry.
