Reply to comment by mowotlarx in Mayor Adams plows ahead with plan to privatize health benefits for 250,000 NYC municipal retirees by mowotlarx
Advantage plans are notorious for denying anything they can get away with and really making the customer jump through hoops. Private Health insurance companies have stock holders to please whereas government-funded Medicare only loyalty lies with the enrollee. It'll be an instant and noticeable decrease in benefits and services, I'm afraid.

The irony is it costs way more to make people access services only in an emergency rather than allowing people access to affordable preventative medicine. The decline in benefits costs us all more in the long run.
