On November 19, 1945, seven months into his presidency, Harry S. Truman sent a message to Congress, calling for the creation of a national health insurance fund, open to all Americans. The plan Truman envisioned would provide health coverage to individuals, paying for such typical expenses as doctor visits, hospital visits, laboratory services, dental care and nursing services.

What is Medicare Advantage? 

A Medicare Advantage plan is a private health insurance plan approved by Medicare. You may opt to get your Part A, B and D benefits from a Medicare Advantage plan instead of traditional Medicare. Also known as Part C, these Medicare private insurance plans usually have an HMO or PPO network of doctors and services.
