Cheaper now, but coverage can be denied so it is a trade off. You have to evaluate your financial and medical health status. Catch with Medicare Advantage is it can be costly to switch back. One or Two years might not be too tough but switching back requires you back pay all the financial contributions you skip by being in a MA plan.
