Research an Advantage plan heavily. You basically sign all your medicare rights away to a company. The government pays them and they dictate your care and treatment. I can give you horror stories all day long.
Medicare and social security are not socialism I paid in 45- 50 years and now I'm collecting my investment.
Medicaid, food stamps, section 8 are socialism. Most recipients paid little to no taxes and have mooched their entire lives.
I pay way more in than I’ll ever get... I’d be far better off investing that money myself. But it’s to pay for others... socialism.
^^^This. I paid into Medicare and SS for almost 50 years; something tells me I won’t be receiving money from those programs for 50 years. My excess funds went (and will go) to those recipients who paid little if any into them.
We have Global Health Generations as my wife's Medicare Advantage plan. All of her doctors are available on it and we have not had any issues with them. $0 doctor visits, $20 specialist, most of her prescriptions are either $5 or free for a 3 month script. One is about $45 for three month supply. I think hospital co-pay was $250.
She spent a week in the hospital earlier in the year and other than our co-pay, we didn't have any other out of pocket costs.

If social security and Medicare isn’t socialism... single payer healthcare isn’t either. (I’m in favor of social security and Medicare)
