Medicare commercials

[Allen]

Is everyone getting their daily minimum requirements of these lengthy unending Medicare commercials?

I mean enough is enough---there should be some gov't regulations on time and quantity of commercials of the same item.

Us old coots who are on Medicare know all the companies, what the plans are, and how much they cost. Perhaps one in one billion may benefit from these commercials. The rest, not so, especially those under 65 who have to put up with this crap.

If these companies can advertise 24/7 they either have $ to burn and could cut their rates or they're on the verge of bankruptcy and you wouldn't want to subscribe with them.

I see mostly Humana and Aetna, very few with United Health Care and none with BCBS so I guess the best ones don't have to advertise.

I'm with Humana (& the subsidiary, Centerwell), they're terrible to deal with.
Rather than catalog the series of mistakes, delays, failures to contact providers & other problems I'll just say the ONLY thing they do well is advertise.

I’m with Blue Cross & BS. New to me this year after my insurer flipped me into a Mediocre Advantage plan. I’m finally starting to take notice of the alternative plans out there. Those commercials are more than a TV intermission time now.

Are there more plans out there which do not cover until after at least two rejections?
And…They haven’t paid anything to my dentist at all. I just got notice they’re dropping dental coverage in 2025 unless I go to a doc-in-box facility almost two hours from home.

Time for a change.

the insurance companies all have them nice new skyscrapers for a reason, and it isn't "taking care of us" !!

I thought it was great when we were building those nice new skyscrapers.

Here it isn't so much the ins companies building the "Taj Mahal's" as it is the doctors and hospitals. You can hear the doctors quacking all the way to their banks.

Not only commercials, but endless phone calls too!

I think the cut off date is December 7th so the calls and commercials should come to an end then. This is the worse year yet for all the abuse. We see who is making the money.
