Because of your videos, I'm a brand new client with you. I can't be more pleased with the support and help I have received so far. I have recommended you to all my friends who are getting ready to start their Medicare coverage. Thank you for all your time you put into the videos. They are tremendously informative and helpful to us all out here who are starting this new journey.

I have had an Advantage plan for 3 years and have been happy with it. I don’t take any meds and no major healt conditions. Recently I needed a crown at the dentist and there was no charge. $1, 000 saved. Gym membership- $600 saved. Hearing test -$200 saved. Vision exam and glasses - over $500 saved. I will switch to a supplement plan once I get older and have more health concerns. Right now I prefer the Advantage plan.

Danielle Roberts is the best in class regarding knowledge and communication about Medicare.

The only thing to know is to not choose one. If cost is an issue, choose HDG. If you want comprehensive coverage choose N. Medigap plan G may in the near future be phased out like plan J and F before it. Plus G has higher premiums and rate increases than N.

Thank you. I love that we have choices, we just need go be well educated!

I am new to all this. I will be turning 65 in February f. Going to be forward here. Don't you get the highest commissions by selling MA to your clients? Isn't MA network based? Can you see what ever doctor you want on MA or can you only go to a doctor in the network? What if your doctor accepts MA, but you get referred to a clinic or hospital that doesn't accept your MA plan? Thank you for all you do to help us seniors

I had united health care, its was nightmare! After that I scary any plan !

[dbmittens]

I have an MA plan because of my spouse's retirement plan. The first year went ok. Cost for meds increased some, but not too bad. This year I am going to a 9-week cardiac rehab program that is covered by Medicare, but is denied by my United Healthcare MA plan. It's costing me $11k out of pocket. I wish I'd said no to MA and got supplement plans instead. I don't think it's going to improve as I get older. I'd never get a Medigap policy if I tried to switch back to traditional. We could use some legislation to fix that problem.

[josephkelleher]

I personally would NEVER want Medicare Advantage. I don't want an insurance company dictating what Doctor I can choose. If my Doctor wants to schedule surgery for me I don't want to have to get the surgery approved first by an insurance company.

[mariaporras]

No, no, no to a medical advantage plans

[dikdoc]

People selling these never completely explain the restrictions. That should be a crime.

[tomm]

No thanks on advantage. I don't want an insurance company's AI program determining how long I can stay in the hospital and I wouldn't want to be fighting with an insurance company for denied benefits while I'm trying to get well. I don't need advantage plan "perks". Supplement Plan N and a part D plan is fine by me.

[dennislaplant]

I think you're doing a disservice to your target audience (people just beginning to research their Medicare options) by saying how much Medicare Advantage plans have improved without pointing out all the disadvantages like prior authorizations, limited networks, required referrals, and capitation payment model (incentivizing cutting costs) versus fee for service (medically necessary regardless of cost). Perhaps you intend to cover that in a future video, but you should at least acknowledge they exist so people will know there's another side to the MA coin.
