From the wide variance in responses, it seems that the disparities among communities, providers, and companies point to the real problems with MA plans - there is no equity. I believe the impetus for Medicare-for-all is that there would be equity of benefit and that doesn't seem possible with private insurance staying in the mix and with differences between states. We older white folx with decent coverage in areas with plenty of providers in our plans' networks feel no need to change because we may be getting better coverage than we've ever had before in our long lives. However, it's clear even from this small sampling that there is a big equity issue when the entirety of those "covered" is considered.
