Does Medicare reject those with "pre-existing" conditions?

[Demonaut]

all those old conservatives better hope not...ever

1. Not if you enrol

at your first opportunity. If you choose to wait, you May be rejected for some conditions. If you decide to change companies, they can be rejected for some conditions as well. Prices are rising, of course, every year.

2. Everyone is entitled to enroll in regular Medicare

at 65. Unfortunately the pool is being muddied by privately run Medicare Advantage advertising pretending it’s “Medicare” and sowing confusion, which will ultimately end in a privately run voucher system for all. Hopefully, not til after I’m dead.

3. Not exactly pretending ...

What’s a Medicare Advantage Plan?
You can get your Medicare benefits through Original Medicare, or a Medicare
Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO). If you have Original Medicare, the
government pays for Medicare benefits when you get them. Medicare Advantage
Plans, sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans,” are offered by private companies
approved by Medicare. Medicare pays these companies to cover your Medicare
benefits.

4. I specifically referenced advertising-

by which I meant advertising on TV , in magazi nes and direct mail. I didn't mean government publications.
