Have you seen the version where it's the exact same commercial but instead it's an actual Muppet that looks just like her which it's amazing you can even tell because she already like you know look like a muppet and yet then they were like let's get a real different kind of Muppet.

Remember that guy who used to yell tax secrets in commercials? Or Miss Cleo? Or the 10-10-321 guy?
And for the Elders, there was the Herbal Essences ad, the Samsonite gorilla ad, the Budweiser Clydesdales, and "Where's the Beef?"
TV commercials used to be memorable.

She's not from Medicare. She's from Medicare Advantage Plan, which is neither Medicare or an advantage.
Medicare should not even allow them to call their plans Medicare. They are run by private, for-profit insurance companies.

Right, R16?
Because in the time it took for her to persuade her dolt husband they needed Part C, she could've called on her own, gotten signed up, and received her new cards in the mail.
And I still love Joe Namath. And grumpy William Devane.

They were wrong. It's a bad idea to present a caricature of an annoying, stubborn, clueless old fart in a commercial that's aimed directly at senior citizens.

They thought Martha was a good idea because they know the type of people who are dumb enough to fall for these Advantage plans. The newest commercial is the two black women calling in wanting to know every benefit they can get for free. That commercial is obviously geared to the black community. People who fall for that scam are the same types of people who fell for Donald Trump.

There is no one Medicare Advantage Plan. Most major insurers offer Medicare Advantage Plans, which is an umbrella term for "Medigap" plans, which cover costs, such as prescription drugs, that aren't covered by standard Medicare alone. .I think Medicare Advantage Plans have to be approved by Medicare to be called that. Relying only on Medicate is definitely not an advantage.

Many, if not most, people on Advantage plans don't even realize that their plan has nothing to do with Medicare whatsoever. They never stop to wonder if their plan is giving them all this extra stuff for no additional premium it all has to be paid for somehow. NOTHING IS FREE! These plans pay for all that extra stuff by cutting the amounts they'll pay on various procedures, and what procedures they won't cover at all. Procedures that real Medicare will pay for.

[quote] Relying only on Medicate is definitely not an advantage.
And you think relying on one of these scam advantage plans is an advantage? Because it's not. All will go fine until someone has some very expensive health issues and find out their so-called advantage plan won't pay 80% like real Medicare would, or their AP won't cover some cost at all. If they're relatively healthy and not taking a lot of prescription drugs they won't have too many problems, But as the older they get the more they find out what a mistake they made by going with a MAP.

No one claims Medicare Advamtage Plans are free. When you sign up for Medicare at the Medicate website, you can compare the costs and benefit of different Medicare Advantages plans. At the very least, you need to sign up for Part D, a prescription drug plan, and those are also run by private insurers, not by Medicare. Medicare runs only Parts A and C.
| by Anonymous | reply 25 | November 25, 2022 2:22 AM |
Medicare runs parts A & B. Part C is Advantage Plan which Medicare has nothing to do with.

Why do these advertisers think old people are stupid.
Because to an uncomfortably large degree the advertisers know they're gullible & always looking for something more than they have for no more money. Many old people believe what they hear if it sounds like what they want to hear. And far too many of them don't have the skills to use the internet to find out if something is legit or a scam.
With Advantage Plans I blame Medicare. The fact that they've (at least up till now) approved these plans is basically AP's biggest pro advertisement. But, I hear this may change sooner than later. There's scuttlebutt that there may be some big changes to the relationship (what little there is) between traditional Medicare and these AP's.

That would be a welcome change, but because Medicate is a government program, I expect the change would take a very long time.

R2 I saw the puppet version after seeing the live actor one several times. My initial thought was, "I guess they re-shot it with a puppet because the 'stupid old lady' version was just too condescending and insulting to their prospective customers." Maybe they just wanted to see which worked better.
The best part is that someone got paid for writing and producing that spot not once, but two times.
Nice work if you can get it.

Martha was one of the ElderLez at the Lesbian Thanksgiving the other day. All she did was talk about Medicare Advantage Plans. She bored us to tears. When she finally stepped out on the back deck for a cigarette, our hosts locked the sliding door so she couldn't get back in. Everyone ignored her knocking on the glass doors.

If you want to know what scams these Advantage Plans are, this guy tells all. One big thing he reveals is that all these advertisements that claim you "may" be eligible for a no additional premium AV, no co-pays, and all sorts of other freebees don't tell people that to qualify for all those freebees you have to be eligible for a low income government subsidy (mainly Medicaid) and only 15% of all Medicare recipients are currently eligible for Medicaid.

The quality of men I attract have loved my moobs, but that's not the "point". Those airing these ads must be compensated in some manner, perhaps they are paid for providing some sort of public service they don't provide, because their efforts on my behalf were humiliation.
