MA is basically an alpha predator feasting on the vulnerable and naive.

There should be a rule: if you work for a non-medicaid insurance company (including being on a board or directors) you should be required to use their product with all the same limitations as a regular customer.
Or better yet, Trump should eliminate the ability for MA plans to stay viable.
