I believe that those who choose MA plans spend $2,500 less on their healthcare a year than those who chose traditional Medicare.1. Fewer in-network doctors to care for MA patients2. More HMO plans, so MA patients rely on referrals that are hard to get, thus less care is provided.3. Limited medication formulary for MA patients4. Those who select MA plans are typically healthier because their are limited options5. If prescribed medication isn't covered in the formulary, the patient cannot afford it6.
