So important for folks to understand when they're first deciding between Medicare Advantage vs. Original Medicare + Medigap. Yes, you can always switch to Original Medicare during the annual open enrollment period. But you might not be able to get Medigap. medicareresources.org/medica…
90% of Medicare Advantage enrollees ages 65 and older, or 22.4 million people, live in a state where they could be denied a Medigap policy if they want to switch back to traditional Medicare and they have a pre-existing medical condition. on.kff.org/4eJZ0dz
ALT KFF donut chart showing that 9 out of 10 (90%) Medicare Advantage enrollees ages 65 and older, or 22.4 million people, are subject to medical underwriting and may be denied coverage if they apply for a Medigap policy outside of the Medicare Advantage trial period or other specific guaranteed issue periods, as of 2022.

More than 1.2 million people have Marketplace coverage in Georgia. They (and any new enrollees) will switch to the Georgia Access website this fall to shop for 2025 coverage. But the same carriers will offer plans, and subsidy rules will stay the same.
Consumers will utilize new enrollment platform – Georgia Access – when open enrollment starts on Nov. 1 | from @louisenorris buff.ly/3Zy1ZRL

Texas requires Medigap insurers to offer coverage to Medicare beneficiaries <65, but only Plan A & rates can be much higher than age-65 rates: healthinsurance.org/medicare…
TX HB1803, introduced last month, would require them to offer the same plans/rates for <65 as they do for age-65

Vermont requires Medigap issuers to make coverage available to Medicare beneficiaries under 65 (at higher premiums), but not if they have kidney failure.
Legislation under consideration in Vermont would remove the exception for people with kidney failure: healthinsurance.org/medicare…

In 2022, ACA enrollment at incomes over 400% FPL more than doubled in HealthCare.gov states (we'll know this spring whether the surge continued in 2023).
@hio_org, I put a spotlight on what happened to premiums at high incomes in 2022 in Houston.

Inflation Reduction Act signed today helps ensure affordable health coverage | buff.ly/3K1czXj

My overview of how the Inflation Reduction Act could affect marketplace/exchange enrollees: healthinsurance.org/blog/how…
Without this legislation, the premiums that people pay each month will increase a lot. It's a must-pass in order to keep health coverage affordable in 2023.

A lot's at stake here. If ARP subsidies don't get extended, millions of people will be paying more for their coverage next year (or going without coverage), and the new special enrollment period for low-income people would disappear as well. Reach out to your members of Congress!

Four out of ten Medicare Advantage enrollees don't understand the provider network requirements for Advantage plans: fiercehealthcare.com/payers/…
March 31 is the deadline for the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period. Maybe your Advantage plan doesn’t include your doctor or cover your prescription drugs? You can pick a different Advantage plan or switch to Original Medicare, but this ends soon! bit.ly/3CRTxiT
