While I am inclined to agree, maybe you could post some text with links. This way members can decide if they want to read it or not.
Thanks to the scammers of the world we are rightly suspicious of unexplained links.
My experience is that Medicare advantage plans are typically not the best choice for most folks who have complex medical issues. There might be exceptions to that but I have familial experience with two. In the year that they were active, they paid exactly zero dollars, we found ourselves at the mercy of a private insurer that had a way out of every single charge. Two different plans in two different states, for two different relatives, and a complete waste of money, time, and paper.

Just adding I have several complex issues. My Medicare Advantage plan has a special program for people with five or more serious conditions and I qualify. I get home visits from a nurse periodically and can call them anytime for a home visit. They also do blood tests and mobile x-ray. For no charge.
