Social Security & Medicare

I have an Advantage plan, and I've never needed prior approval for anything I've needed. My out of pocket costs have been minuscule in the 10 years I've been on that plan. Let's see, heart attack, stent, then a three day stay in the hospital. I paid a couple of hundred dollars. Broken arm, which resulted in ER visit, then follow up with an orthopedist, and then one round of physical therapy, which I could have cancelled and saved the $25.00 co-pay but felt I really ought to check in with someone who knew more than I did. I always heal really fast, and I knew I didn't need PT as I'd (this is three weeks after the break) had gained full mobility in the arm, and no longer had any pain) but I figured it wouldn't hurt to have someone who knew more than I did, check it out.

Why, oh why, oh why do people here keep on starting these threads to trash Advantage plans? What is in it for them? What is their agenda? How is my Advantage plan hurting them?
