Carl McDonald of Oppenheimer and Carl Mercurio of Corporate Research Group discuss the prospects for Medicare Advantage under Obama's newly proposed budget. From the Nasdaq Market Site in New York.
Everything Medicare from around the web.
You have no idea how Medicare Advantage works nor the benefit of them.
You guys should read through every line on Medicare.gov first
@Jsd8675 I am an insurance agent and have represented MA, MAPD and SUPP
Plans for every major company for many years….and evidently you are a
moron.
Mr183462….nevermind you can’t educate the unwillimg
@Becauseuranidiot Haha wow… you don’t even understand what Medicare
Advantage does, and you’re calling an insurance agent a moron.
If you would have taken out a medicare supplemental instead of a MA plan
you would have paid ZERO!!!
– i have medicare blue cross advantgage medical only and had a major
operation & was only susposed to be in the hosp 6 to 7 days but was
actually in for 16 days i only had to pay $350 total & my very good
advantage plan paid the rest – now on just regular medicare i would have
had to pay at least 20% on one big whopping bill which my basic math tells
me it sure would have been a LOT more than $350.00
Hussein’s ”health care plan” is to eliminate all the seniors & disabled
that he can -plain and simple
Mr. Idiot If you are on a medicare advantage plan medicare pays ZERO on the
bill because you are NO LONGER ON MEDICARE!!!! MEDICARE ADVANTAGE TAKES THE
PLACE OF MEDICARE!!!! What you are talking about is a medicare SUPPLEMENT.
You need to learn the difference.
Well evidently you are a moron and if the shoe fits… Any MA standardized
or not….Pays the 20% medicare does not pay less its associiated
deductible. ie., 100,000.00 Bill Medicare pays 80,000.00 and all MA’s are
required to pay, less the annual deductible, 20% of that cost. You need to
read the existing federal law pertaining to Medicare Part C and stop
posting inaccurate information….
You need to double check your information, MA’s are not standardized
therefore like I explained above they are only required to provide at least
the same coverage as original medicare. Thinking that all Med Advantage
plans would pay more than medicare doesn’t make sense. You truly show your
intelligence with the moron comment.
So your an insurance agent….did you listen to the section in your class
where Med Advantage Plans pay the 20% Chemo Bill that Original Medicare
does not Pay. You sir are a MORON
I am a licensed Insurance Agent, Damis is right, seniors think they are
getting a better coverage then original medicare (part A & B) but they
aren’t. The only requirement that a medicare advantage (MA) has to meet is
it is required to provide at least the same coverage as original medicare.
Sure they will throw in prescriptions, eye & dental coverage but when you
have $200,000 in chemo bills from cancer treatment that the MA doesn’t
cover alot of good that will do you.
Medicare “Advantage Health Plan” is a program that needs to die. This is a
rip-off for seniors and has nothing to do with their Medicare. The
Advantage Health Plan is a private insurer that has made big bucks
hijacking seniors over to their plan–unbeknownst to them, of course,
thanks to a slick advertising campaign.
