SANTA CLARA, Calif. – While Medicare Advantage plans have come under scrutiny by some policy makers and the media, a majority of enrollees are happy with their coverage, according to a survey conducted by eHealth, an online private health insurance marketplace. Nearly nine in 10 (88%) say they are either “very satisfied” (63%) or “somewhat satisfied” (25%) with their plans, according to the survey of more than 2,800 Medicare beneficiaries. A similar number (68%) would recommend Medicare Advantage plans to friends and family. Additional findings: Most of those previously enrolled in Medicare Supplement (Medigap) still prefer Medicare Advantage, most Medicare Advantage enrollees can’t afford the alternatives and most see Medicare Advantage as a prime example of public/private cooperation.
