There is always the question if the results are fixed to the policy.

Not that I am all that excited about MA plans; I personally have a Medcost plan (sort like a Medigap). The Medicare 80/20 payment plan is OK if you don’t have a chronic illness or two and don’t need much care. Otherwise, it reaches the point where medical care is prohibitively expensive, even with Medicare paying 80%.
