[Joseph Betancourt @Jbetancourtpr]

Great progress with ACA but coverage does not meaningful access make. When care not affordable, foregoing care, not getting meds, medical debt are all consequences. Bad for all Americans, worse for some. Time to take this on. ⁦@commonwealthfnd⁩ https://t.co/BlLc4K556b

Most U.S. seniors have Medicare, but the @CommonwealthFnd 2024 survey shows high out-of-pocket costs make affordable care challenging. Conducted by SSRS, the survey revealed key insights on healthcare affordability for seniors in 10 countries. https://t.co/SbjMfFNcgK

[Commonwealth Fund @commonwealthfnd]

The Commonwealth Fund’s 2024 Biennial Health Insurance Survey reveals that nearly one in five adults experienced a gap in insurance coverage this year. Among the insured, 23% were underinsured, with high out-of-pocket costs posing barriers to care.

The U.S. health care system is fragile, and over-investment by #privateequity is further jeopardizing it. @DavidBlumenthal warns of the risks to cost, quality, and access to care on To the Point. https://t.co/5pg3h67bCj

[Commonwealth Fund @commonwealthfnd]

ICYMI: #Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs – yet about 1 in 5 beneficiaries are using private websites to purchase discounted drugs instead. @GretchJacob and Faith Leonard explore the benefits and tradeoffs of these discount sites. https://t.co/BN9wTs9VLN

[Commonwealth Fund @commonwealthfnd]

Private equity’s rapid rise in health care could jeopardize cost, quality, and equity. @DavidBlumenthal explains why states must step in where Congress won’t. https://t.co/5pg3h67bCj

[Commonwealth Fund @commonwealthfnd]

Prescription drug discount websites like GoodRx and CostPlus Drugs may offer cheaper prescription drugs for many Medicare beneficiaries. But purchases on the sites don’t count toward the new Part D OOP limit, which could lead to higher overall costs. https://t.co/BN9wTs9VLN
