The Medicare Advantage Program is really is just a private insurance plan which can be used in addition to Medicare. Medicare can have some severely limited restrictions and significant out-of-pocket expenses so an alternative that offers choices and competition would logically bring better coverage and reduced out-of-pocket fees. Competition driven, Medicare Advantage fosters price competition between companies, only resulting in better options for the consumer.
