White House Tightens Rules on Misleading Medicare Advantage Advertisements
Dec. 15, 2022 --

The federal government is cracking down on misleading ads for Medicare Advantage plans that prey on older Americans.

On Wednesday, the Biden administration proposed a ban on ads that use confusing words, images, or logos to sell Medicare advantage plans that sometimes don’t cover a person’s doctors or prescriptions.

The regulation would also require that ads cite a health insurance plan by name.

The Associated Press called it “an aggressive step to tackle a growing problem in the Medicare Advantage marketplace, a booming business that offers privately run versions of the government’s Medicare program for people who are 65 and older or have disabilities.”

The Florida ad is misleading at best as well is the way "Medicare Advantage" pretends to be Medicare.
