End Congress members' promotion of Medicare Advantage
We are writing you to urge your U.S. representative and senators not to sign the annual AHIP (America's Health Insurance Plans) letter addressed to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, praising and supporting Medicare "Advantage."
According to research and findings from Congress, reports from the Inspector General at Health and Human Services, articles in the New York Times and other journals, large insurers in the Medicare Advantage program have engaged in unacceptable delays and denials of care, upcoding, and fraudulent practices to increase their profits. They are essentially stealing from the US Government and taxpayers, resulting in a significant threat to the Medicare Trust Fund. In 2020, the New York Times estimated that $12 billion was defrauded from the Medicare Trust Fund.
To send this request to your representative and senators, simply enter your information in the form to in the right column, and click "Next."
Sincerely & thanks,
Robby Stern, Chair, Social Security Works WA. ssworkswa@gmail.com, Jeff Johnson, Co-President Puget Sound Advocates for Retirement Action (PSARA). Chuck Pennacchio. President, One Payer States. cpennacchio@gmail.com
