None for Supplements, which simply fill the many gaps in Medicare. For MA plans, it's a PM/PM (per member per month) stipend, around $1,000 a month last time I checked, on average. There are a few variables, including age and geography.No, the core Medicare system does not go through private insurance companies. They get involved with Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Supplements.Are you deliberately lying here, Mac? That doesn't seem like you, but you know damned well I'm talking about core Medicare, not the supplemental shit. The basic setup was designed to preserve insurance companies profits. Why do you keep steering around that? What kind of blinders are preventing you from acknowledging the basic facts about what we're delaying with? How can we have an honest conversation as a nation when so many of you play the obfuscation games?I've gone over this many times, and I'm not inclined to type out an explanation of the whole system. If you have specific questions, let me knowTell me about it. Most people don't realize it's a feeding trough for the insurance industry, for example.
I'll say it again: I've done years of training on this system. For six years I was the financial guy in the room when one of the primary insurance providers put together the Medicare Advantage plans, piece by piece, benefit by benefit, cost by cost, for every last county in my state.
If you want to think I'm lying or playing games, great.
I have significant professional training and professional hands-on experience on this. Do you?

Tell me, (I should admit that I detest MAPD plans) what is the Gov funding level with these plans?
MA plans are great for lower-income people, Supplements with a PDP are definitely better if you want full coverage.

I am a consultant to an agents/brokers in the industry, I understand how the Supps and Part D plans work but I know damn well the private companies are no making any money on premiums (MA). I've never been able to find what levels the Feds help with costs f these plans.
