Seems like that most agents who are honest with themselves, would choose Original Medicare over MAPD when they turn 65. I of course would choose OM, what would you choose?

[EXTERNAL LINK] - The Challenges of Choosing Medicare Coverage: Views from Insurance Brokers and Agents
Most brokers and agents personally would choose traditional Medicare and Medigap over a Medicare Advantage plan. When asked, most said that they believe traditional Medicare, with the addition of Medigap supplemental plans, offers better health care coverage and choices, particularly as people age. One broker explained their choice, “If I ever have a medical issue, I’d want to be able to go to any physician I want.” A few participants, however, thought Medicare Advantage plans would be fine for their needs.
(Yes, only 29 brokers participated for a 105 min session)
