some of the extra money MA games out of the Federal government may go to benefits, but I suspect most goes to executive and shareholder pockets. 1/

it’s great MA plans provide vision, hearing, dental, which base Medicare should but does not. but on the other side of that, MA brings into Medicare the narrow networks and denials of low-cost private health insurance plans. 2/

a person might be very happy to have chosen MA while they are reasonably healthy and get medical, vision, hearing coverage, but come to regret it when they are less healthy and find limitations on basic medical coverage. /fin
