Medicare Advantage *appears* to be better for you if you are relatively healthy.
But the problem with getting older is that, inevitably, you get sick. Senator Jeff Merkley #MedicareDisadvantage

Has Medicare Advantage achieved its objectives?
No. It has failed the American people.
Thank you Senator Jeff Merkley for explaining so succinctly. #MedicareDisadvantage

More and more elected officials are waking up to the fact that #MedicareDisadvantage has been a complete failure for the American people.
Private insurance companies have used it to suck massive profits through denial of critical care.
We need to #ReclaimMedicare .

Congratulations to the doctors who have unionized at Allina Health and formed the largest group of unionized doctors in the private sector.
Our lives are in their hands. They're at the forefront of fighting for safe, adequate staffing.

Senators Senator Cortez Masto and Sen. Debbie Stabenow started the Senate Finance Cmte hearing with some GREAT questions. Why are #MedicareDisAdvantage plans lying about coverage and denial rates? 🤔

After Ady Barkan’s convo w/ Senator Jeff Merkley about the need to #ReclaimMedicare from private insurers…
Senate Finance Cmte is holding a hearing on these private insurers' marketing abuses. The fact that this hearing is happening at all shows that our movement is gaining momentum!

Hi there Senate Finance Cmte - I had to work very hard at getting some of my mother’s medical bills paid when she unknowingly enrolled in an Advantage plan that did not cover one of the largest healthcare providers in her area. I am watching this closely.
