    Medicare Advantage plans shift more costs onto seniors in 2027

    Medicare Advantage insurers are raising out-of-pocket costs for seniors in 2027, cutting dental and other benefits, and narrowing hospital networks to boost profits. Companies like UnitedHealth and Humana are making these changes despite receiving higher payments from the government, potentially leaving enrollees with higher costs and limited provider access.
