Reply to 250K NYC retirees must switch to new Medicare coverage after union leaders favor Aetna plan by exgalactic

This is very wrong and I believe the union leadership sold out its members. There is growing evidence that Medicare Advantage is a giveaway to the insurance industry. Under traditional Medicare, you can go to any doctor you want in the country, there is no pre-approval, and claims are usually not denied. Under Medicare Advantage, you are stuck in a "network", pre-approval is required to see a specialist, and there have been news reports of claims denials. There is growing evidence that Medicare Advantage is problematic. It is really not Medicare and a lot of people feel its a disadvantage
