In reply to the discussion: Stop the Medicare "Advantage" Scam Before Medicare Is Dead [View all]at140
(6,198 posts)7. We like Medicare Advantage
        I have no health issues, need no prescriptions and not been in a hospital since 1990. I have zero medical bills in my 80's. I wish I could opt out of health insurance but Medicare won't allow it.
On the other hand my spouse has $40k medical bills every month to treat her cancer. She pays the out of pocket max for the year and Medicare Advantage pays everything above that. She has not faced any denials of payments whatever her doctor orders.
