I don't watch much TV so I don't see many of the ads but I do get phone calls and mail about medicare advanage.  Don't answer the phone and throw away the mail.

I am fortunate to have excellent insurance as a retiree from a large corporation and our insurance plan includes medicare as apart of it along with a prescription medicine plan.  We cannot enroll in Medicare Part D for prescriptions or add an Advantage plan to our company coverage without losing our company sponsored medical plan.

As I see it I am far ahead with my company plan and will not mess with it.  We do have to be enrolled in Medicare Part B and part of our plan.  I have paid very little in medical expenses during my life as a result of my company insurance and am so grateful.  I have no deductible and 5% co pay for Part B expenses.

I know .. the most unruly Martha.  Repeatedly exhasperating.  Yesterday I got so sick of her I blurted out "F Martha."  I thought my husband was going to lose it.

I don't see ANY OF THEM, EVER!

Why?  Because I record everything and watch at a later time.

That remote and me FF all commercials....unless I stumble by Walter the Cat (Chevy), LOL

I love that cat!  You can You Tube his 2 commercials....

Camp Lejune ... hate those too.  AND the emails I get from them.  Money grubbing lawyers.

The most effective way to stop it is to urge your congressional representatives to support the Save Medicare Act meant to prevent for profit insurance companies into tricking seniors into thinking that "Medicare Advantage" plans are actually part of Medicare. The bill sponsors are are seeking to “prohibit private insurers from using ‘Medicare’ in plan titles or advertisements, and impose significant fines for any insurer that engages in this deceptive practice.”

  And  “Only Medicare is Medicare. It is one of the most popular and important services the government provides. We should be working to expand this service to include coverage for dental, vision, and hearing care, as well as looking at ways to strengthen it rather than allowing these ‘Medicare Advantage’ programs to provide pale alternatives to what Medicare does."

The Balance of Nature fruit/veggie capsules is just too much. Fox has them on constantly. And no, not thinking of  changing news channels.   But when I want a supplement I will NEVER, EVER choose this one. Just because of their tiresome, constant commercials. Now Kathie Lee is on touting it! You get a discount if you put in the code KLG. Isn't that just as cute as it can be???

@GoneButNotForgotten   Well it is not going to stop and we go through this around here every single year.

While I agree that the ads are misleading, unless you are willing to protest where it would count, complaining here will not change it.

It is what it is.

The Medicare commercial  with  Angry 75 year old Martha are the worst.
