I am writing in support of Medicare Advantage plans. I believe we need to strengthen and improve these plans rather than be thinking of eliminating them.
The inclusion of hearing, vision, prescription drugs and sometimes dental plans help to make health care for seniors simpler and more manageable for seniors like myself. I have been happy with my plan and know many seniors that are satisfied with their plans and care. These plans also provide and promote wellness programs and give access to quality care networks.
Many government programs fail. Medicare Advantage is working for the elderly. I urge our political leaders to keep the funding for the plans intact.
