I am sorry if I sounded scolding.
That was not my intention. It seems so much is put onto the patient when illness prevents what you might normally accomplish.

It took me a year to get out of my Medicare Advantage hostage situation.
Even paying “out of pocket” most doctors won’t see you if you are in an “advantage” set-up.

Of course, when well and only going to a yearly check-up, most people don’t give it a second thought. I know I did not.
And once free, looking for doctors that suit you and your condition is a daunting task.

I hope your appointment goes well.

Please explain your MafiaCare DisAdvantage "hostage" situation.

I got suckered into Advantage and am stuck because there's no way that any self-respecting Medigap program will take a chance on me with all my conditions.

The health insurance industry is a criminal organization. Full stop.
