Here is an article from the LA Times. There are quotes in here from the Medicare Rights Center and the Center for Medicare Advocacy. These organizations tend to be “pro-Original Medicare” and anti-Medicare Advantage. More likely, they are advocating a single payer system. There is also a quote from AHIP which is the Trade Association for Health Insurance Companies.
The article talks about a reduction in the number of Medicare Advantage plans for 2010 and the changes which Medicare Advantage members will likely be facing in 2010.
We discuss these changes, their impact and what an independent agent can do in our “Future of Medicare” Webex. We have availablity for this webinar tomorrow, May 27th at 4pm. We will also be hosting more Webex calls in June. For more information and to sign up, visit our Events Calendar and look for “The Future of Medicare” sessions.
