3.2 million must choose.

3.2 million Medicare Advantage members lose their plan on January 1.

For 93% of them, there's no plan in their county that keeps everything they have at the same cost or better.

If you sell Medicare, that changes your January call. It isn't "here's your replacement." It's "here's what you give up, and where you give up the least."

We mapped it for every county from the CMS filings. Hennepin County, Minnesota: 67,032 people have to choose. Not one has a like-for-like option.

Comment your county and I'll send you yours.
