Clark Howard Slams Costco's Medicare Advantage Plans Amid Slowing Growth
Original: 'The Disadvantage Plan Is All About Denial': Clark Howard Slams Costco's Medicare Plans as Growth Slows to 3.8%
Consumer finance commentator Clark Howard criticized Costco's Medicare Advantage offerings, calling the plans 'all about denial' in comments that coincided with the retailer's Medicare business growth slowing to 3.8%. The remarks revive his long-running skepticism of Medicare Advantage plans, which he argues often limit care and deny benefits. The critique draws attention to Costco's expanding push into health insurance as its growth cools.
Why now: Costco's healthcare expansion and slowing growth give Howard's criticism fresh relevance for consumers comparing Medicare plans during open enrollment.
