Dear Sen / Rep -

Rep David Schweikert, has introduced a bill to force all new #Medicare enrollees into a #MedicareAdvantage plan starting Jan 2028, essentially eliminating the public insurance trust that Medicare was designed to be. I am asking you to make sure this bill dies in committee.

Medicare Advantage is not true Medicare. The corporate insurance giants claim to serve Medicare patients but use prior authorizations to decide what care a patient can receive. The insurance companies do not have to use any approved standard for medically necessary. They are permitted to use their own internal data to override doctors. They create fake networks of doctors to lure patients in, patients who later find that their doctor or hospital of choice is no longer in network.

Nearly every corporate insurance provider of Medicare Advantage has been fined by the US Government for fraud, and despite promising to lower costs, Medicare Advantage costs the US taxpayer $88 billion more a year than Medicare. This is not something that should be the only choice for seniors.

The Medicare Advantage experiment has to end. Allowing corporate profit to play a role in the delivery of healthcare has not resulted in additional savings to the taxpayer or better health for seniors.
