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.

itchyd,
It all gets confusing doesn’t it? Because I’m sick, my husband was stuck with the particulars of getting me out of Kaiser Advantage.
I believe we were able to change our coverage during the open enrollment period that starts in November-December of each year. At that time Medicare allows you to make changes.
So I dropped out of Kaiser and did not choose another “advantage” program, because I want to go wherever I need to go for care.
I now have regular Medicare with secondary coverage through Anthem Blue Cross. It gives more freedom.
