Eugene Quishenberry was 85 years old when his Medicare Advantage plan stopped covering his skilled nursing care. Less than a year later, in 2015, he died. “It was weird. I came to visit him at the nursing home on Thanksgiving and they said, ‘Tomorrow we’re sending him home,’” his son, Larry Quishenberry, told HEALTH CARE un-covered.
In transparency & accountability Center for Medicare Services (CMS) must inform each person that enrolls in part c exactly how much tax money CMS pays directly to for profit private insurance companies on their behalf. It is at least $12,000 annually.
That’s all our sickness and dying model “healthcare” in America is. A corporate subsidy. Corporate welfare is all we do. Every taxpayer in America is liable for $8000 per year per person to corporations and $37 to our fellows. Neither constituency has a clue about policy. Thank you so much
It seems I must have. I was replying to a statement on the subject that contains the word capitalism. I don’t see it in yours. My bad. Please accept my sincere apology
A major issue here is that the cost of alternatives to MA for lower income seniors is usually unaffordable. When offered a choice between a so called $0/ mo premium and several hundred dollars/mo for a Medi-gap plan, why would an uneducated consumer of any race choose the latter ? And how could even an educated senior consumer afford it unless they had a pretty middle class life and income? MA ads need to come with a health warning like cigarette packs.
By having the federal government fork over public funds to private insurance companies who sponsor Medicare Advantage plans, and by the insurance companies denying and delaying care for seniors, the federal government increases its chances of seniors dying sooner than later. This is a win for the federal government, who will therefore NOT have to pay out Social Security any longer to the deceased. The federal government is getting the insurance companies to do its dirty work for it, all track and traces covered up, while both the feds and insurance companies benefit monetarily, leaving the patient-taxpayer, high dry, and even dead. Connect the simple dots here . . .
Combat this awful marketing.

Do the math; it is corporate welfare.

I didn't realize there was such racial targeting going on with Medicare Advantage. NC happened to have a good article on Medicare Advantage today https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/01/we-deserve-medicare-for-all-but-what-we-get-is-medicare-for-wall-street.html.
Rape and pillage has nothing to do with capitalism.
Lmao yes it does, but did you reply to the wrong person?

Stay far away from these vultures.
And now many retirees with health coverage are being forced into MA plans. Really bad.
🤣😂🤣 our entire sick and dying “healthcare“ model is bad for your health

We need non profit national health insurance that is run by the CMS!
The American people are getting bamboozled by the profit health insurance companies and the profit health hospitals.
