Today Medicare open enrollment opens as many Advantage plans get cutGood morning. Medicare's yearly open enrollment is underway, and this year it comes with a warning. News outlets report that millions of people may see their Medicare Advantage plans canceled or changed for next year. In one Indiana county alone, an estimated 1,767 people had plans dropped. Illinois state retirees were also affected after a hospital system stopped taking some Advantage plans. Because of these changes, experts are urging everyone to review their coverage before the deadline, even if they planned to sit out. Several groups are offering free help to walk seniors through their choices. Reports also say costs are expected to rise in 2027, with changes across all plan types.
