So DOGE wants to cut inefficiency. Medicare Advantage seems to be a whole lot more inefficient than traditional Medicare.
So will Tell #1 of DOGE be whether they act to eliminate MA and move everybody to Medicare ??? According to the linked article, some “shooting fish in a barrel” easy efficiency gains are to be had by doing just that.
I won’t be holding my breath, lol, waiting for it to happen.

Taxpayers spend 22% more per patient to support Medicare Advantage – the private alternative to Medicare that promised to cost less

" Medicare Advantage – the commercial alternative to traditional Medicare – is drawing down federal health care funds, costing taxpayers an extra 22% per enrollee to the tune of US$83 billion a year."

Contact your senators. Nice counterpoint to make

Me either, as a LOT of MA enrollees likely voted for the future POTUS and if MA goes away, they will very likely have to pay for the more expensive (but better) Medigap plans.
