Medicare Advantage helps America’s seniors thrive
Kathy B.
When Kathy B. retired to her favorite vacation spot, Sturgeon Bay, Wisc., two years ago, she was excited to stay active in her new community: meeting new friends, practicing yoga, taking art classes, and providing low-cost counseling services. However, her plans faced a setback when she fell and broke her arm.
Kathy’s doctor told her it was one of the worst breaks he’d seen. She worried she might not be able to drive or practice yoga again. But Kathy’s Medicare Advantage plan took care of everything – covering four months of rehab.
Now Kathy is back to being active in her community, practicing yoga and doing all the other things she enjoys. “I’m so happy I have Medicare Advantage, because it took care of all my needs, and I didn’t have to worry,” she said.
“Without Medicare Advantage, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the kind of life I want to live,” she said. “Today, I’m having a grand old time during my later years, and . I still feel young!”
Rob R.
After working in retail for 35 years, Rob is embracing retirement. He volunteers, travels, and plays cards with friends. He’s learned new hobbies like baking bread and editing videos.
Like many seniors, however, Rob has faced some health setbacks. He spent a few months in an assisted living facility while recovering from a hospitalization. But Medicare Advantage had Rob covered. Now that he has healed and moved back home, he appreciates his independence even more.
“I want to be able to do things. I travel, I work on a lot of different groups and I didn’t want to have to worry about my healthcare,” he said. “Medicare Advantage has given me the peace of mind to do the things I want to do.”
Rob credits Medicare Advantage for allowing him to live life to the fullest, knowing his health care needs will be taken care of. “Medicare Advantage gives me the independence to be the person I want to be.”

Seniors are being squeezed
Protect Medicare Advantage
Two years of Medicare Advantage cuts have left seniors feeling squeezed, with widespread plan closures, higher costs, and reduced benefits affecting millions of seniors nationwide.
Seniors are already struggling with high prices for everyday necessities such as food and utility bills. They can’t afford to pay more for their health coverage and get less for their money. For those living on a fixed income, paying more for health care means sacrificing other essentials.
Seniors need stability. That means protecting Medicare Advantage.

Seniors across the country are speaking about how Medicare Advantage plan changes and benefit cuts are impacting them. Millions of seniors are facing plan closures, higher costs, and reduced benefits as a result of Medicare Advantage cuts and other policy changes. For seniors living on a fixed income, the consequences are real.
