Profits on Medicare Advantage plans are at least double what insurers earn from other kinds of policies. Gee, I wonder why?
There is tons of evidence that insurers in the program have been manipulating a program that pays them extra fees for enrolling customers with more illnesses. The change took away payments for some of diagnoses that are gamed the most.
