Not only that, when I went to http://www.PlanPrescriber.com to use their search and compare tool so my parents could choose their Medicare plan for 2010, we found significant increases in premium, copays and deductibles for many Medicare Advantage plans. My parents like these types of plans because in addition to medical, they include dental and vision coverage. They would be very upset if this type of option was no longer available in the future.
