According to Forrester, there could be close to 40 million people who will be eligible for Medicare Advantage in the next ten years. Additionally, their report states that the Congressional Budget Office is projecting that the share of all Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans will rise to 62% by 2033 and that within that population, nearly two-thirds will select an individual plan through general open enrollment.
