My Medicare Advantage has been amazing. Had a heart attack in December, 2020. I paid zero for the hospital care. And nothing after that. Recently I tripped on a sidewalk, fell down, broke an arm. I think I might have paid a $25/deductible for some kind of service. Meanwhile, I recovered from that trip and fall.

Oh, the ER bill for that fall was something like $7,000. I paid no more than the deductible.

When I had my heart attack, the final bill was around $80,000. I paid the deductible.

I know, Medicare Advantage is terrible, right? Oh, not really.
