Default Medicare Advantage should be abolished

At the very least "Medicare Advantage" should be required to change its name. It is a private insurance company, it is NOT Medicare. I have no problem with this private insurance company losing customers. And while we are at it AARP should be abolished too, as it is just a front group for private insurance. I want all private insurance companies to lose all of their customers and get everyone on a not for profit system.

The reform process is not over people. Check out Alan Grayson's proposal to allow anyone to buy into Medicare at cost. I would even be agreeable for anyone under 65 to buy into Medicare at cost plus 5% or something to help cover costs for others.
