You weren't tricked into MA like I was. I had no intention on being on anything but Medicare. Little did I know the person who contacted me was a MA broker instead. That was on a Friday.

On Monday I called Medicare myself and told them what happened. Not a hell of a lot of help. Sure, they could switch me over but advised to look at the costs of the supplemental first. Completely outasite if you were previously on MA.

So I'm stuck. I'm not rich enough to afford Cobra type monthly payments for ins that picks up 20 percent of the overall costs. And yes, I feel cheated. I have always been one of the strongest pushers for Medicare for All.
