>> The thing that i-node conveniently ignores is that, according to studies, MA costs about 14% more than straight Medicare for the same coverage. I don't ignore it. That's part of the reason the services are so much better. They do a lot more for the money. Which was the entire point I was making with Al. Obama said he wouldn't sign a bill that cut benefits. He lied.

>> according to studies, MA costs about 14% more than straight Medicare for the same coverage. It isn't the same coverage. No MA plan offers "the same" coverage as Medicare (if it did there would be no reason for MA).
