Dive Brief:

- Almost nine in 10 (88%) MA enrollees indicated they were satisfied with their coverage, and nearly two-thirds (63%) said they were very satisfied. Just 6% were dissatisfied with their plans. “Medicare Advantage enrollees are overwhelmingly happy with their coverage,” the eHealth report said.
