Following a recent hospitalization, I am getting skilled nursing visits every other day and physical therapy, as well. Provided by Traditional Medicare, no cost to me. This is for 100 days and can be renewed if needed, still no cost.

It is my understanding that this would not have been available to me under a Medicare Advantage plan. Or I would have had to pay for it myself.

Look at what you don't get, as well as what you do.
