involved, and, as always, the size of the group for whom its intended, as well as the price acceptable to the group being covered., i.e., some want a plan as cheap as possible while others want a plan that will pay a larger amount and for more procedures, etc.

I also understood that Medicare Advantage is more for healthier individuals, in that they may offer exercise programs and health screenings and lectures. I have not taken advantage of those offered with my plan, but one possibility was Silver Sneakers, which is some kind of exercise membership at certain facilities nationwide.

My Humana Advantage plan was just for myself, as my spouse had one from employer before retirement.
