If they’re going after the private insurance carriers, they (the carriers) are going to pass that along to seniors, either in cuts or increased premiums…Let’s not kid ourselves 😮 As far as political ads (which are ALL crap), our news can also now legally put forth untruthful propaganda - 😖 So I equally distrust both. Except the retirement puppy. I always trust your retirement puppy ❤🐶 I guess we’ll see how it shakes out. Why not take the “savings” & spend it on even better coverage for seniors and/or veterans? Then no one would have to ponder this question. 😊
Medicare Advantage is not Medicare, it's private health insurance. So lets stop wasting our money and cut costs for all of us by implementing Medicare for All.
Geez…I knew insurance companies were stealing from medicare but didn’t know how. Like when I was out of state, and needed medical care and ended up paying 50% of Medicare charges! I had a United Healthcare Advantage Plan. That company is the worst offender in my opinion
How many times have we heard “we’re gonna cut the budget here and put the money over there”??? That BS never turns out that way. Both get massive budget cuts or increases… Which ever benefits the party in charge.!!! This sounds like another SHELL GAME where the only one winning is the one who’s in charge of the game!!!
Honestly, I was shocked as well about the political ads and how there is no law enforcement! Spread the truth! Too many seniors have enough things to worry about. Now all this false advertisement.
HONESTY should start at the White House in Washington DC & go on down to ALL ELECTED Officials about truth telling. And Lobbyist's should be HONEST too. There is so many lies that the American people do NOT trust Politicians anymore. Yes, that is what all of you men & women in Washington have done to this country. "Shameful & disrespectful". Where the hell is your moral compass????
STOP sending $$$ money to other countries. Take care of American people 1st. So many of us "worked" for more than 50 years in the USA. Praying for intelligent HONEST CARING person to become our next President in 2024. 🙏
Mitch I don't think the Fairness Doctrine ever applied to ads, not even political ones. I never recall ads in the 1960s presenting 2 or more viewpoints. Also the doctrine was only applied to broadcast, never extended to cable. I am appalled by the abuse of our tax dollars by the "Medicare" disAdvantage insurance industry. Have you heard of Thom Hartmann? He has written a brief book both purchasable and available free thru online libraries (it was available in our local library) and has had several podcast episodes devoted to warning Americans about MA programs. HIS BOOK is what should be coming in our mailboxes that are instead currently being filled with MA ads from the wealthy MA, tax-dollar stealing, private insurance plans!
Hi Kia, I heard Biden "s bit about cutting MEDICARE, BUT ONCE I heard your explanation on the topic ,It made sense. It reached me with a smile,. We hear, we listen, get more info. We know. THANKS, Paula
I recently became Medicare eligible so I am getting bombed with advertising. Most, maybe all, of it is misleading. I don't think any of them mentioned supplement plans including the companies that sold both advantage and supplement. Many listed advantage as your only option to bare Medicare A and B.
You are right! Even the Official Medicare & You book shows all the Advantage plans but no Medicare supplement plans. So, share your knowledge (and this video) with others!
I think the ads Biden has been working on are difficult since it' DOESN'T LET HIM USE THE TRUTH TO SHOW THE REAL REASONS ARE STRAPPTING HIM IN UNCOMFORTSBLE POSITIONS. YET HE CONTINUES TO push to tell the truth. How will the truth be brought into the adds? Paula Ockerman
Do you have any information regarding SSDI Insurance to assist with home health can you get two plans ? I live in South Florida. Thank you so much. I have AARP United health care ppo.
Hi Jackie, Medicare and Advantage plans don’t give you much for home health care. You need to have a separate LTC insurance policy but there’s a change you won’t qualify for that. Give me a call and we can see what you qualify for. 408-502-7080, Kai.

SADLY THERE.S NEVER A DULL MINITE IN broadcasting but things are going better than before.Thsnks paulao

Thanks for your experience. By the way, why did you have to pay 50% when you’re under the advantage plan. You should have a maximum out of pocket.
Another for team, Medigap
Medicare Advantage is a bottomless pit for most.
Follow the money...unfortunately.
The Feds should never of let the private companies get involved with Medicare
It did have a good intentions to lower our deficit, but money corrupts and it’s wasting a lot of money as well.
Excellent
Thanks Jose!
Great info, thanks
You’re welcome!
I have heard and seen Pres Biden cleaning up Medicare .Social security Good luck to President Biden paula

Thanks, Jacke! Yes, spread the truth! Too many seniors have enough things to worry about. Now all this false advertisement.
How many times have we heard “we’re gonna cut the budget here and put the money over there”???

This sounds like another SHELL GAME where the only one winning is the one who’s in charge of the game!!!
There are some truth to what you’re saying!
Utter bs. I am so tired of anyone being able to say anything and not be held accountable to the truth.

Thanking you for clarity
Thanks Mary!
Wouldnt the Fairness Doctrine, if it wasn't abolished, prevent these false ads?
True. But in todays world …
You know the answer.

How do you feel about these misleading ads?
There are no feelings! It is a continuous reinforcement that the USA is evil to the bone.
Terrible misinformation which many people believe, unfortunately.
This is why we made this video! Thanks Larry!

Hi Kia, I heard Biden "s bit about cutting MEDICARE, BUT ONCE I heard your explanation on the topic ,It made sense. It reached me with a smile,. We hear, we listen, get more info. We know. THANKS, Paula
All of that American MONEY sent to Ukrainian should have went into MEDICARE.
I’m sure there will be other people that would agree with you.
