I have had zero problems with my Medicare and I have had a couple of operations and I had more flexibility to choose my doctor and the hospital than working people who were on private insurance. I talked with the hospital's insurance people and the person told me that she would much rather deal with Medicare patients than private insurance patients, there are less problems.

It's bad enough that Medicare Advantage plans are hurting Medicare, this sounds like something similar.
