But in the context of topping up traditional Medicare part A and B …insulation from the cost of co payments etc on covered services. It’s not mandatory.
Medicare Advantage plans advertise themselves as covering everything that traditional Medicare does with no discrimination…so that implies coverage of even pre existing conditions that would be covered by traditional Medicare. I haven’t checked the truth of that claim as everything else about the bamboozle was enough to put me off.
You’re the one who stated that Medicare has never known a day without a pre existing clause (or words to that effect) somewhere upstream so I assumed that you were aware of that fact WRT Medicare Advantage with some degree of certainty?
P.S…I fancy that, should some sort of medical underwriting be a prerequisite with a MA plan, it’d be to assess any premiums. A sort of bait-and-switcheroo after someone’s fallen for the initial promised no premiums/low cost bamboozle
