Proposed legislation, the Save Medicare Act, aims to address concerns over Medicare Advantage plans profiting under the Medicare brand. Critics argue that these plans have deviated from their initial cost-saving goals, leading to issues such as denial of patient care and inadequate payments to healthcare providers. The debate highlights the tension between private insurance profits and ensuring quality care for Medicare beneficiaries.
"It is bad for patients’ health — and sanity — that the perceived promises of care in their insurance plans can suddenly disappear midyear," @RosenthalHealth writes. https://t.co/XLR8CIxwly
There is a day of reckoning coming for Medicare Advantage plans. Started out with a good idea to save money, they have become a plan for denial of patient care, lack of payment to those who deliver the care and billions of $$ for insurance companies. https://t.co/kgssxJNRiN

Medicare Advantage is private insurance that uses the Medicare brand to profit. We need to pass my bill with @RepMarkPocan and @janschakowsky, the Save Medicare Act, to hold insurance companies accountable. https://t.co/9KPMZJeII2
