Ask Your Representative to Support the Save Medicare Act

Medicare Advantage, the privatized option for Medicare, is rampant with fraud and overspending. These private insurers are using billions of dollars of government funding to increase their own profits – falsely advertising themselves as “Medicare” and promising quality health care – only to end up denying coverage for essential care and services. These plans not only threaten the future and solvency of traditional Medicare, but put patients' health and lives at risk. 

Congress must hold these predatory Medicare Advantage plans accountable and they can start with the name. These plans are not “Medicare” and should not be allowed to advertise as such. Seniors and people with disabilities should have this level of transparency when choosing their health care so that everyone is able to choose the plan that best fits their needs.

As a constituent, I'm emailing to ask you to cosponsor H.R. 732, the Save Medicare Act. 

Medicare Advantage plans use deceptive marketing to oversell and overcharge for their private health care plans, and then underdeliver on care. These private insurers are using government funding to increase their own profits, at the expense of their patients. And they take so much from the Medicare trust fund, that it’s threatening the solvency and future of traditional Medicare. 

Congress must act to rein in Medicare Advantage, and should start by giving it a more accurate name. It is not Medicare and should not be advertised as such. The Save Medicare Act would force these plans to stop using “Medicare” in their name and would establish penalties for private insurers who don’t comply. Seniors and people with disabilities deserve to have this level of transparency when choosing their health care. 

Please protect traditional Medicare by cosponsoring this bill.
