I know, we knae one. However, the way they operate is wrong! We pay $39.00/mp for the Advantage program plus the $97.00 is also deducted from our SS payment. The Ins cos are making out like bandits on this program because most insured don't use anywhere near the amount of $$ that is paid to the ins, co's for these prograns.

As I said, I know this "advantage" to the ins. co's is going to be cut, as well it should be!

Obama said he was going to make the Advantage Programs operate on a level playing field.

I'm sure my premiums will go up sto some degree, but I doubt the will increase to the level of the std. supplemental or there will be no reason to keep them alive!
