Reply to comment by gizmozed in Hidden audits reveal millions in overcharges by Medicare Advantage plans by rustyseapants
I did the homework. My Kaiser Advantage plan is a substantially better deal than anything else I could do. And that's even before I apply the significant benefit of no paperwork, no billing tracking, no claim submissions, and so on.
That's the benefit to me personally. Whether it's a benefit to the US government is an entirely different question.

Yes, species go extinct naturally, but at a very slow rate. On average a new species of animal lasts for several million years.
The rate of extinction on planet Earth right now is thousands or tens of thousands of times higher than normal.
