"It’s not socialized medicine or government-run health care. Instead, it’s government-run, taxpayer-funded insurance." Sounds like an issue with syntax, not the substance. Medicare IS socialized medicine, and thank Goodness for it! Celebrate what you have!
I think I hope this happens to us. Cannot leave MA now because I'm sure the Supplemental would be WAY too high. Since you did not choose voluntarily to leave your MA company, is Medicare treating you like a new 65-year old? Letting you choose the Supplemental ins. company with no increased cost based on your medical history?
Good explanations. Thanks! That inability to try MA and then switch back without penalty (the supplemental is not avail. or is much higher) is the only thing that has kept us in MA. Congress: FIX THIS!

Is there no one in Congress willing to fix this complicated crap?

Why are eyes and teeth not part of your body? All medical problems should fall under "health insurance", ie Medicare.

I think that I would choose Trad. Medicare if I could do-over. But there is no (reasonable) route once you choose MA.

a good way to navigate? Socialized medicine. the same coverage for ALL citizens, including Congress, would produce tremendous results.

I've wondered why they keep pestering us for these home visits. Now I know. = waste

maybe not 'arbitrary', but certainly 'nuanced'. Harold has a good point, as you said.
