[AAHomecare @aahomecare]

President of AAHomecare, @TomRyanHME, is on the Hill today meeting with legislators, including Rep. Tom Souzzi (D-NY) who now sits on Ways & Means.

[Gary Sheehan 🍃 @gmsheehan]

There you have it folks...when you suspend the bid program, but leave the insane prices it created in place?

Access issues...surprising, exactly nobody with a brain.

Surreal logic by @cmsgov here, truly surreal. #DME2019
