You know ... the one that's 100% free and covers damn near
everything (but probably only pays $1 for each claim). They even
give you money to buy groceries and pay for all kinds of shit, like
aspirin.

I have an Advantage plan.  They've paid for everything I've needed.
It's not free.  It's $20.50/month on top of basic Medicare.

 
The problem here is they try to tie you to a provider then if the
provider doesn't have that specialty, you are SOL with no coverage.
 
Add to it as military retirees, they give nothing we don't already have
but we can LOSE our Tricare for life (free) over falling for one of
them.  What disgusts me is they know that, but are scamming us for
profit.

They're not scamming you, they're soliciting business.  They don't
necessarily know you also have Tricare coverage.  Killfiles work for
email, too, you know.

I think she's referring to Medicare Advantage plans as scams.  It
just shows you have to pick your provider carefully.
