Medicare Advantage = BAD.
Medicare Advantage is private, FOR-PROFIT insurance that overcharges American taxpayers by billions every year and regularly denies seniors the care they need.
...so course, Trump is trying to privatize ALL Medicare.

Dear Senator/Representative -
President Trump’s Medicare director said last week that his team is considering a policy that would automatically enroll Medicare beneficiaries into Medicare Advantage plans, an idea first rolled out in the Project 2025 roadmap of this Republican Administration.
I want you to push back hard on this idea and fight it with every bureaucratic tool at your disposal.
Medicate Advantage costs us taxpayers 14% more than if those same people were enrolled in traditional Medicare, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee.
Yes, you're reading that correctly -- Medicare itself is telling you that Medicare Advantage costs more. This extra $76 billion of my tax dollars gets paid to for-profit health insurance companies. Study after study has shown that Medicare Advantage, while costing more, does not lead to better outcomes for patients. All Medicare Advantage does is put the money I am paying in taxes into the pockets of health insurance shareholders and CEOs.
Right now, Americans have a choice between Traditional Medicare and corporate, profit-driven Medicare Advantage.
Medicare Advantage costs more and it doesn't result in better patient outcomes. It should be cancelled completely, not made the default enrollment.
Fight this.

"Petchkis and thousands of other elderly people in New Hampshire lost their insurance and were forced to scramble for alternatives this year, part of a broader phenomenon as #MedicareAdvantage companies abandoned communities where their plans threatened profits or lost money. Hardest hit were a half-dozen rural states from New England to Idaho."
