Over the next few weeks, as millions of Americans go through the “open enrollment” period for health care, Big Insurance is preparing a tens-of-millions-of-dollars marketing campaign to mislead, misinform, and misdirect patients in the grossly misnamed private insurance plans called Medicare Advantage, all in an effort to avoid the blame for the upcoming price increases and cuts to care caused by their corporate greed.
