Comedian John Oliver and finance expert Suze Orman are urging Medicare Advantage (MA) users to consider switching back to traditional Medicare due to concerns about cost, care limitations, and plan terminations. While some MA users are satisfied with affordability, others worry about unexpected changes in premiums and benefits. (1)

Despite criticism, MA remains the only affordable option for many low-income or chronically ill seniors. It offers supplemental benefits like dental and vision coverage, transportation, and meal delivery support. New CMS rules aim to improve oversight and reduce denials, making MA a comprehensive choice for some. (2)

More than 62.7 million Americans rely on Medicare, with about 35 million enrolled in Medicare Advantage. While MA can limit doctors to a network, it caps annual out-of-pocket expenses — making it a popular choice for many. (3)
