If the plan went away, they would be guaranteed issue back to Medicare Supplement.  However, if the plan cut benefits and increased premiums, they would either, (1) have to stay in the plan or (2) find another Medicare Advantage plan, or (3) find a Med Supp company which doesn&#039;t underwrite (maybe AARP or a Blues plan, but no guarantees here).]]></description>
