Advantage plans
My husband retired from the sheriff’s department, had UnitedHealth Advantage and they either denied or limited his care. I took him off that when I became his caregiver, went back to original Medicare where he received much better care. Only it was a little too late and now he is on hospice.
Now I am worried about myself. I am retired from Educators, have UnitedHealth Adantage, and have minor health problems…for now. Would I also be better off to go back to regular Medicare since I also have UnitedHealth through my teachers retirement? I am so scared the advantage will treat me as lousy as they did my poor husband if I were to get really sick.

Well, that’s the issue. We have no idea how managed care will work out in the future. So sorry you had to learn for your husband the hard way.
First step is to talk with a Medicare expert to see if you can get Plan F as a supplement. NOW is the time to do that, in case you do qualify.
If you’re in Illinois, contact Thom Dillon at JT Medicare Solutions: 800-227-1012 or go to JTMEDICARESOLUTIONS.COM.
If you’re not in Illinois, go to www.eHealth.com and talk to someone there about your eligibility for switching to a Plan F supplement. If you are confirmed in writing, get the monthly price. And remember, you’ll also need Plan D for drugs — though the max for 2026 is $2100. Read my 3-part special report on my website.
Get started today — because you only have until December 7 to make the switch back to original Medicare — and you only want to do that if you can get a great supplement.
