Stop the Medicare “Advantage” Scam Before Medicare Is Dead
It is not a popular opinion but I always thought the tv ads that spam the airwaves in the last few months of the year were harmful to the legitimacy of institutions.  In this day and age most of us are so assaulted by spammed scams that we develop a sensitive sense of scamminess and like many of the ads aimed at seniors these ones scream “get grandma away from the tv!”<p>Certain day parts on tv are dominated by ads for personal injury lawyers and things you can spend government benefits on and are a desert for ads for things you might spend your own money on.<p>One series of ads that promoted getting some free medical equipment that ran for years and I thought looked scammy turned out to really be a scam.<p>I’ve always thought these ads promote the idea that some chiselers somewhere are trying to rip off government benefits and they drive people, even the pensioners that these are aimed at, to vote Republican.
