After 23 years of care, his insurer MGB Health Plan won’t cover treatment there anymore — forcing him to either switch insurers or lose access to his life-saving medication. Though the insurer blames broader Medicare Advantage market pressures, Eldon sees himself as collateral damage in a system that’s pitting patients against institutional shifts. With just 90 days to act and no guarantee of continued coverage, he’s caught between loyalty to his doctor and the crushing cost of staying on track — a story echoing for thousands navigating healthcare’s shifting sands.
