"Petchkis and thousands of other elderly people in New Hampshire lost their insurance and were forced to scramble for alternatives this year, part of a broader phenomenon as #MedicareAdvantage companies abandoned communities where their plans threatened profits or lost money. Hardest hit were a half-dozen rural states from New England to Idaho."

Venture Capital-Backed Tech Companies Will Pilot Medicare’s New AI Experiment – The USA Potato

I started AGAIN today trying to find out how to get a Medicare plan and drop my Medicare Advantage plan. I have now tried 8 times online to find the name of A company that has Medicare in Arizona. And worse yet 3 “independent” insurance sites led me specifically to my own existing Advantage insurer. I can’t even find a LIST I Arizona so I can start making calls after 8 am.

There is some kind of rotten enmeshment going on that I can’t even find a list. Does this mean the whole state has only got Medicare Advantage? Notice what happened in the screenshot when I attempted to ask medicare.gov
