I am your constituent and I want you to know two things - first - Traditional Medicare, a national single payer insurance trust, has a claims denial rate of about 1.2%. Next I want you to know that commercial health insurance has claims denial rates that are out of control. Medicaid run by managed care organizations averages 12%, Affordable Care Act plans have denial rates from 7% to way over 30%. This is crazy. We need you to pass a national single payer universal healthcare law now so that so many of us do not have our doctor’s treatments for us denied. HR 3421 is such a bill. Get on it.
