“There is no room in health care where the pressure of insurance isn’t felt by both patients and doctors. Not even the operating room.

When will we say enough is enough and push back?”

[Physicians for a National Health Program @PNHP]

When we fight corporate profiteering, we win—whether it’s rolling back Medicare Direct Contracting, capping the ACO REACH program, or pushing back against #MedicareDisadvantage.

“The reimbursement rates are abysmal—particularly whenever you’re talking about Medicare Advantage plans.

The denial rates are [also] sky high, and that causes problems.”
