Medicare Advantage (MA) accounts for an increasing share of overall Medicare coverage. The privatized program now serves 54% of eligible beneficiaries, and why not?

"Every five years, as many as half of MA enrollees switch from one MA plan to a different MA plan, and one in ten exit MA for traditional fee-for-service Medicare."

Medicare Advantage (MA) continues to attract more Medicare-eligible beneficiaries. A new survey by the Commonwealth Fund sought to identify the “value-added” services provided by MA over traditional Medicare.
