    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;i had heard rumors in December about Humana dropping coverages in My upstate NY area, but they denied it.&amp;nbsp; So today ( January 13th 2024) 12 days after starting the 2024 plan, I get a letter stating as of July 1st 2024, Hospital coverage for My hospital and all its affiliated hospitals and services will be terminated.&amp;nbsp; Great. They knew all along.&amp;nbsp; Can I join another Medicare Advantage plan instead now, or am I out of luck. Doesn't seem right.&amp;nbsp; Humana knew about this and waited to shaft Us.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
