In some states, employers are telling seniors that they need to give up their employer-sponsored health plan and get a Medicare Advantage plan when they turn 65. It occurs in some places where the employer offers a health plan as supplemental coverage for seniors. Once they become eligible for Medicare at 65, they are often left without a choice and must lose this retirement benefit if they do not enroll.
They must either get a Medicare Advantage plan or lose their company-provided health benefits. It is creating a problem in some places because there may be a limited number of Medicare Advantage plans available, and some medical services may not be available in their area with those plans.
