If Trump wins in November, he plans to make Medicare Advantage plans the default program for everyone who is newly eligible. Medicare Advantage is privatized insurance; unlike traditional Medicare, it puts an insurance company between you and your health treatments. Traditional Medicare has no such "middleman"; the government pays for your healthcare.
Medicare Advantage plans put profits before people, regularly denying coverage for essential treatments and services, forcing patients to forgo the care they need and putting their health and lives at risk.. Meanwhile, private insurance CEOs rake in the money, at the expense of seniors and those with disabilities.
Over 65 million Americans rely on Medicare for their health care, and over 400,000 people become newly eligible each year. Their health and lives are at stake in the November election.
Voters need to tell Trump: NO PRIVATIZATION OF MEDICARE!!
