Berwick: "The original idea behind MA (Medicare Advantage), in its predecessor forms, was not a bad one." Yes, it was bad. Turning over health care to for-profit companies is always bad. Obama CMS Chief: Medicare Advantage Plans Game the System https://t.co/YmaPHCYodw

So happy they made it out 🥹💙 Thank you to everyone who cared about them and urged @ModJapan_en to help them! https://t.co/TPvMitjFYc

Prior Authorization takes the power to TREAT Patients away from doctors & allows greedy insurance companies like @Aetna @UHC @Humana @ElevanceHealth @Sedgwick to deny needed Medical Treatment. We are seeing this in Medicare DisAdvantage plans. Another Reason @NYCMayor shouldn't force @NycRetirees into them. @MedSocietyNYS supports protecting their patients & keeping medical treatment in the hands of DOCTORS!

Guess which plans the city of NY and many of the unions welfare funds uses
