Most states do not allow you to switch back to regular Medicare without underwriting (read: unless you are healthy). I have been through this mess with both my parents. Medicare Advantage plans look great until you actually need them to pay for your healthcare and then then you aren’t allowed to switch back to a regular Medicare plus supplement plan. It is a nightmare.
That being said most seniors can’t afford regular Medicare supplement plans anymore so the long game to completely privatize Medicare is just about to come to fruition.
