Medicare Advantage now serves 54% of seniors, up from just 19% in 2007, because it delivers coordinated care + extra benefits like dental & vision. A proposed 2027 payment freeze, amid ~7% cost growth, threatens those gains. https://t.co/ACxHx9GenC
Kudos to @HouseCommerce for highlighting how hospital-driven costs and hospital consolidation are fueling higher healthcare prices. When hospitals control more of the market, patients and employers pay more. Competition matters, and it’s good to see Congress taking notice.
Nonprofit hospitals dominate U.S. healthcare and dominate the bill too. Healthcare prices for Americans keep soaring, yet most tax-exempt funds don’t go to charity care. Congress must demand transparency and accountability before Americans pay even more. https://t.co/dIJKZrXwdp
