Supplemental, advantage plans mess with your benefits and aren't as widely

Couldn’t you just switch back at open enrollment again?

My understanding is that it’s difficult to switch back once on Advantage

Many times there is a 1 year trial period for a MA, where you can switch back.

Thanks, great summary. With Advantage, can you set up a HSA to cover future

No. Though if you have an HSA already, you can use it to pay for copays.

Many changes to MAPDs, Part D this year. Every senior should Talk to an agent
