Wow, US medical insurance is so bad that today I discovered that my Medicare coverage was cancelled. How is that even possible?

It had everyone at the doctor's office wondering.

The answer is that I was on a Medicare Advantage plan - which I now know is something that every person should avoid. And they simply change me to a new medical provider - at a new location with new doctors and no records - without ever telling me.

You know who created the Medicare Advantage program - Republicans.

That's the same people who created various "health savings plans" in which those savings vanish at midnight each December 31.

I will be getting out of that "Advantage" plan at the next registration period, but that means that I'll be going the rest of the year without medical insurance, even though I am paying monthly for it.

Sheesh, the R-party really knows how to screw the public pooch.
