Medicare Advantage-Who does it Benefit?

Sandra Rice

Medicare Advantage has been a preferred option for many healthy seniors and millionaire private health insurance CEOs. It may not be good for seniors if they have a chronic illness, cancer, surgery, or a catastrophic episode, but it will still be a benefit to millionaire private health insurance executives. And it will never be a benefit to Medicare and the hundreds of thousands of seniors who depend on it.  Carol Paris, MD, past President of the Physicians for a National Health Program, sounds the alarm. The trend that government is bad and business is good, is giving corporations the power and the money to take control, leaving many out in favor of profit.
