I couldn't find a YouTube video on this specific ad, but I think this verbal description will suffice:
 
Humana's latest drivel for its Medicare Supplement plan shows their spokesman presenting a "seminar" before an audience of oldsters and using different blocks of Swiss cheese with the holes being metaphoric for the coverage gaps in Medicare and the competitors' supplement plans.
 
Aargh! The insurance is for senior citizens, not kindergarteners! What next, Big Bird as a celebrity endorser?!?
 
If they can't hit us with sexuality (e.g., Liquid Plumr), marketers are treating us like little kids. All this ad needs is to be put back-to-back with the Pepto-Copter. Angry

The cheese head ad is old news, Dr. Dan.
I live in Humana country and these commercials drive me nuts.
Who are these people that get health insurance with no plan premium?
How do I get some of that?  I hate f**king open enrollment!!

I agree, those commercials are insultingly lame. The Swiss cheese illustrations themselves are not much different one to another. I also dislike that they act as though no one has ever had a co-pay, or even understood them, and that anyone would expect complete coverage from one plan at any age.

Aka ron, I also wonder where these people who have no premiums live. Not in my state! I do, however, know they exist, because I've seen one or two post on forums. I am pretty certain those plans are all HMOs. The HMOs in my area have exceedingly few doctors available and I avoid them like the plague.
Stop the Insanity!

Humana is pounding us with old ads. I hate insurance companies!
 
I posted on the Humana Facebook page. I swear, some of these moderators have some sort of God complex.  THEY decide what the public should see!   Angry
