Health Care BS

I’m definitely a believer in the market, and my problems with Medicare can be found here, but the picture for Medicare Advantage is not quite as rosy as John Goodman makes it out to be. As I explain here, some of the independent agents selling these plans are using deceptive tactics. Many of the seniors who sign up think they are getting a Medigap plan, and are quite upset when told—usually by a registration clerk at a hospital—that they have given up their traditional Medicare coverage.
