You're trying to split hairs. Parts C and D , while gained thru Medicare Advantage, ARE indeed considered Medicare. Google it .

Part c and d don’t go together. Part c is advantage and is not Medicare it is private insurance. Companies market it as Medicare but it is not. It is paid with Medicare $ Also if you go with advantage you are not guaranteed to be able to return to Medicare. Ask the right questions!

Again, splitting hairs. These private companies have a contract with Medicare to provide the additional services, like vision, dental, and hearing, and prescription drug coverage that Medicare doesn't cover, plus the 20 % of total billing that parts A and B would not cover.

The Advanage plans, which you claim are not Medicare, are shown, and provided thru Medicare, and the Medicare handbook. It's very simple , you can either buy private insurance..or you can participate in Medicare advantage..but ONLY if you are on Medicare.

I was on an advantage plan for a year and went back to Medicare. I lived it and you just google it. Therefore your opinion is irrelevant.

I have been on a Medicare Advantage plan for 13 years . I know what it is .
