A lot of people like the advantage program. Obviously I’ve got 15 years before I am eligible for Medicare but I see a lot of people using their benefits at the grocery store. Some get $125 a month for groceries. I’m afraid the barn doors open and everybody ran out. It would be interesting to see how seniors would react if somebody proposed banning advantage programs.
