We continue e to expose the various Medicare Advantage schemes that private health insurance companies use to take advantage of seniors’ traditional Medicare.
Medicare Advantage is enslavement.

Summary:
The video passionately criticizes Medicare Advantage (MA) as a restrictive, profit-driven alternative to Traditional Medicare, limiting patients’ freedom to choose doctors, hospitals, and treatments. While Medicare Advantage may appear cost-effective, it often imposes hidden costs and reduces access to necessary care. Traditional Medicare and Medicare-for-All systems prioritizing universal healthcare over corporate profit are the only way to ensure fair and transparent access for all.
- MA restricts patient choice by limiting access to specific networks and requiring pre-approvals.
- Traditional Medicare allows patients to select their doctors and hospitals without network constraints.
- Hidden costs and reduced access are common with Medicare Advantage, even though it appears cost-effective upfront.
- MA ultimately costs taxpayers more, as government overpayments directly increase insurance company profits.
- Medicare-for-All would eliminate waste, prioritize patient needs, and improve access and quality.
This analysis underscores the urgency of a single-payer, Medicare-for-All system that ensures healthcare access as a public good rather than a corporate revenue stream. MA may lure patients with promises of savings but restricts their freedom, cuts access, and profits on the backs of vulnerable populations. A publicly accountable, universal healthcare system would honor Medicare’s founding purpose—providing comprehensive, fair healthcare without corporate interference.
