Letters: Hoosiers, vote for those who will defend this health care plan
February 25, 2020
I don’t need to buy a separate prescription drug plan or Medigap insurance. I get everything from medical appointments and hospital care to free wellness services with one card.
I’ve been a longtime supporter of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski. She’s defending my values in Washington, and now I’m looking to her to defend Medicare Advantage.
I want all elected leaders to understand how important Medicare Advantage is to seniors. For example, I love that my out-of-pocket costs are lower than they would be with traditional Medicare.
That’s because Medicare Advantage is full coverage. I don’t need to buy a separate prescription drug plan or Medigap insurance. I get everything from medical appointments and hospital care to free wellness services with one card.
With an election coming and some politicians proposing drastic changes to our health care system, however, the future of Medicare Advantage isn’t clear. Hoosiers should take care in 2020 to elect only vocal supporters of Medicare Advantage to another term in Congress. Hopefully that will include Walorski.
