Original Medicare always beats Medicare Advantage

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan want their customers and their future customers to believe that Medicare Advantage is superior to Original Medicare with a Supplement.  Why is this so?  Because it is more PROFITABLE for them!  Their profits start with the monthly premiums they charge you, in fact BCBSM receives between $10,000 and $12,000 for each customer they have on a Medicare Advantage Plan.   What makes this worse is that BCBSM also has control with the services you receive and the reimbursements to doctors and hospitals...that is why you receive your plan updates every fall and why your doctor can decide to NOT participate for the next calendar year without you even knowing of their decision. 

I strongly suggest to all I meet that anyone having a Medicare Advantage Plan (even if paid for by their past employer) should return to “Original Medicare” with a Medicare Supplement.  The above reason is also why the auto unions offer Medicare Advantage Plans...it is a money maker for them!  Medicare Advantage Plans are not the type of Medical Insurance you want when you need your health insurance the most.

Don’t make your insurance decision based on monthly premiums while you are healthy, rather base your medical insurance coverage decisions on what your insurance will cover when youneeded.  My services are FREE.  I can help you sort these 11 choices out and help you find which Medicare Supplement is best for you.  I am licensed in the States of Michigan and soon in North Carolina.  My services are always FREE, and I can be reached at: 734-395-5425.  I hope to speak with you soon. -Matt Skiba
