Will Medicare Advantage Be Eliminated? 
I am not sure if Medicare Advantage plans will ever be eliminated , however , they are having serious cuts to the benefits and doctors that are available . Many people get excited about these plans because the low premium but the number that is most important is the `` max out of pocket '' cost . That is the number you will pay out of pocket on an annual basis . There has been a lot in the news lately about the benefits of Advantage plans changing and the 100 's of providers that will no longer be in the network in any given area . Medicare Supplement plans have less out of pocket costs and the benefits can not change from year to year . In addition , not having a `` network '' to deal with allows you to go to anyone you want and not wondering who will get cut from the network next year .
