Why choose one tiny aspect of Medicare Advantage? That is right out of the liberal talking points. Why don't you want to support preventive care and activities that keep seniors healthy?

I support preventive care...I dont support lining the pockets of MA providers with excessive profits. The savings is not tiny and other providers will fill the niche at lower costs.

I also support equity. Why should wealthier retirees get free or discounted gym memberships through MA while those might need it more are excluded because of more limited income.

Who says they are wealthier? Where is the data that shows that seniors who use Medicare Advanatge to support health maintenance at a gym are all wealthy?
