Angela G<p>Please copy and paste onto the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends. </p><p>The Center for Health and Democracy's study on UnitedHealth Group demonstrates why for-profit companies should not be involved in healthcare. UnitedHealth is enriching shareholders via my tax dollars and I want you to end this waste and abuse of taxpayer money. </p><p>Even though UnitedHealthcare has three times more people enrolled in commercial plans for people under 65 than in its Medicare Advantage plans, it reported almost twice as much revenue for its Medicare business in 2024 ($139.5 billion) than from its commercial customers ($74.5 billion).<br> <br>UnitedHealth also reported more revenue from Medicaid in 2024 ($80.6 billion) than from its commercial health plans.<br> <br>Altogether, 75% of UnitedHealthcare’s U.S. revenues of $295 billion in 2024 came from federal and state taxpayers. </p><p>The company acquired more than 200 additional clinical operations in 2024. Few patients are aware that their doctors a part of a publicly traded company that has a legal obligation to maximize shareholder value, not provide patient care. </p><p>I am asking you to claw back these taxpayer dollars that UnitedHealth counts as profit. If you can claw back social security payments from individuals, you can claw back profits paid to corporations.</p><p>I am also asking you to fight efforts to make Medicare Advantage the default enrollment option for Medicare. </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ResistOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResistOfTheDay</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resist</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MedicareAdvantage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareAdvantage</span></a></p>
Angela G<p>Please copy and paste onto the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends. </p><p>Dear Senator / Representative --</p><p>I am asking you to oppose any bill like H.R. 3467 (sponsored by Representative David Schweikert R-AZ) that will force every new Medicare enrollee into a Medicare Advantage Plan starting in 2028. </p><p>Medicare Advantage plans do not save the government money. Even the insurance companies admit this. They charge 15-20% overhead (as compared to Traditional Medicare's 2%), and they do not keep their patients any healthier than Traditional Medicare. Nearly every major insurance company has been charged with fraud for up-coding patients to garner more reimbursements. They deny treatment for no valid medical reason, and they waste hospital administrator's time with constant paperwork demands. </p><p>The entire premise of Medicare Advantage was that it would save the government money. It has not. MA has cost upwards of $20 billion a year additional over what Traditional Medicare would have cost. </p><p>Project 2025 named the full privatization of Medicare as a goal, and now they are trying it. I am asking you to vote no on any bill that would make Medicare Advantage the default for Medicare. </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resist</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ResistOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResistOfTheDay</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MedicareAdvantage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareAdvantage</span></a></p>
Angela G<p>From the Wall Street Journal: Health insurance has never been a flashy, high-growth business. But for many years it offered something nearly as good: steady, dependable returns, fueled by the expansion of government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and the Obamacare exchanges. Lately, though, Wall Street has a problem with America’s health insurers: They keep missing their numbers. What began as trouble in Medicare Advantage has now spread across nearly all government-backed plans, signaling deeper issues in the model itself. </p><p>Golly -- Maybe having PROFIT MARGINS attached to the health of human beings is the problem in the model.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/HealthcareReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HealthcareReform</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/HealthcareIsAHumanRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HealthcareIsAHumanRight</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MedicareAdvantage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareAdvantage</span></a></p>

Each year, <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MedicareAdvantage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MedicareAdvantage</span></a> plans cost taxpayers $83 billion more than Traditional <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a>. This extra cost goes mostly to the private companies who administer these programs. These programs promised our government they would lower costs, then didn't. Giving these companies more in reimbursement will not improve health or shore up rural hospitals. It will enrich already rich insurance companies. In their budget reconciliation they are going to cut Medicaid. The poor will face cuts to their healthcare while the insurance companies rake in more money. </p><p>--Companies facing tariffs on medications or precursors for medications will pass these costs onto consumers. The companies will make money while millions of Americans each day face the dilemma of paying for food or paying for medications. This tariff whiplash caused by the Republican Administration cannot include medications or their precursors. </p><p>Please fight for the elderly and the working poor. Please talk about these issues every day, particularly with news media in Republican-voting parts of the state. Side with the people, not corporations.</p>
