John,
Earlier this year, the Biden administration took steps to crack down on a practice that allowed private health insurers to overcharge Medicare to the tune of $75 billion a year. Biden’s rule will save seniors money―but greedy private health insurers are pissed that their gravy train has ended.
Humana, one of the largest private health insurers, is suing the Biden administration to try to keep overcharging Medicare.
Social Security Works is leading the fight to protect Medicare from corporate greed! Republicans have tried for decades to privatize Social Security and Medicare, and we won’t let them succeed! Chip in $7 today!
The Biden administration’s crackdown allows the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to compare bills that privatized Medicare Advantage plans submit to Medicare against their actual medical records. These audits have caught billions of dollars in false charges, where private health care CEOs reach their hands into the Medicare trust fund and put your money in their pockets.
This lawsuit is as frivolous as the ones that Big Pharma have filed in the wake of Medicare’s proposed prescription drug price negotiation. They are dragging their feet and trying to wring as much money out of the system as possible before they’re forced to stop.
We held nationwide actions demanding Big Pharma drop their lawsuits and got national press. Can you chip in $7 to mount the same resistance to Humana’s greed?
We know that privatized health care plans use delays and denials of care to deliver worse care for more money. This is a particularly dangerous time for Medicare as more and more Americans are being forced onto privatized Medicare plans without their consent.
Thank you,
Alex Lawson
