We can’t let this happen. A fully privatized Medicare system would be good news for health insurers and bad news for seniors.
John,
Donald Trump’s plans to end American democracy as we know it have earned a lot of attention as he seeks to return to the White House.
What’s received less coverage is what he plans to do if restored to power. That ends now.
Rolling Stone’s Andrew Perez1 dug into an 887-page policy document planned by a right-wing think tank that is acting as the Trump administration in exile―and it reveals how quickly Trump could privatize Medicare.
The “Project 2025” agenda calls for taking away the choice between traditional Medicare and private plans, and making seniors opt out of a for-profit plan if they want to rely on traditional Medicare. This would funnel millions of unknowing seniors into profit-seeking private plans that cost more to deliver worse care.
Donald Trump’s first Presidency already started this―with a program that shifted seniors who had chosen traditional Medicare into private, for-profit plans without their knowledge.
We can’t let this happen. A fully privatized Medicare system would be good news for health insurers and bad news for seniors.
