I just learned that UnitedHealth’s Medicare Advantage HMO’s will now require a primary care physician to authorize seeing a medical specialist. This will delay and deny care and serve to only increases profit for UnitedHealth at the expense of seniors who chose this kind of commercial Medicare Replacement.
When commercial companies stand between you and your doctor - the patient loses. The determine what care you can have, what medicines you can have and whether or not you are treated. That’s not healthcare that’s wealth management.
We all deserve to be able to go to the doctor when we need to and not go broke. You have it in your hands to improve the infrastructure of our country and improve the lives of all Americans by making sure we all have health insurance. You can do it and save our country a fortune with The vastly improved Medicare For All Of Us Act. It will save our country $750 billion every year according to the CBO 202 report (dollars update to 2026), cover all of us cradle to grave, cost employers far less so they can be more competitive world wide, and make sure that care providers are in place in medical deserts using regional administration. BTW using global budgets medical facilities will no longer have to eliminate departments to save cash. The infrastructure will be covered. Let me remind you that according to a recent Gallup poll 62% of Americans want their federal government to make sure all of us have health insurance - all of us.
If you care for your Constituents you would show them and implement HR 3069, The Medicare For All Of Us Act and let them know. Thank you.
