February 23, 2023 — American seniors who choose Medicare Advantage want the government to fully fund the Medicare Advantage program. That’s the key finding of a survey conducted by Seven Letter Insight on behalf of the Coalition for Medicare Choices (CMC), a national grassroots organization of more than 2 million Americans who are covered by Medicare Advantage.

The polling comes as Medicare Advantage funding is at risk as a result of the Biden Administration’s proposed 2024 Advance Rate Notice for Medicare Advantage. Seniors who choose Medicare Advantage are concerned – they worry about increased costs, reduced benefits and tough spending choices if coverage becomes more expensive.

The poll reached 1,000 senior voters who are currently on a Medicare Advantage health care plan and included a 300-voter oversample from key 2024 Senate battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, Montana, West Virginia, Michigan, and Ohio.
