150: Senior Care (Part 2): The rapid growth of Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage (MA) is a public-private hybrid health plan that allows eligible seniors to receive health insurance through a commercial insurer. It has a high satisfaction rate among enrollees and is projected to crest fifty percent of all Medicare enrollment this year. In part two of Radio Advisory's senior care series, Host Rachel (Rae) Woods talks with senior care expert Aaron Hill and health plan expert Max Hakanson about why Medicare Advantage is so popular, its impact on industry stakeholders, and why MA will likely be subjected to more oversight and regulatory scrutiny in the near future.
