With most Medicare Part C plans, you can get slightly broader coverage than with basic Medicare Part A and Part B. For example, almost all Medicare Part C plans cover routine physical exams. Some offer short-term custodial care -- meaning nonmedical help with activities of daily life -- in a nursing facility or at home, which traditional Medicare doesn't cover. Also, some plans provide coverage for eye and hearing care, expanded physical therapy, chiropractic, and various kinds of preventive care.

Helpful but I wish you had discussed who PAYS FOR medicare advantage plans. And also discuss whether they are worth the amount of taxpayer money that goes to private insurance companies rather than medicare itself or medicare providers.

It will take me several reads to get through all this info, but it's very helpful in sorting out fact from the fiction pushed at us by health insurance companies.
