Care Over Cost Campaign: Managing Profits and Mangling Care?

United Healthcare is endorsed by AARP and Humana was just bought/merged with United Health.. for the last few years, we have had Humana Part D and for 2024 – if we keep Humana – our premiums will be UP 84% and the estimated cost of my medication will be UP JUST 400%. and this is what AARP – who is supposed to be supportive of Seniors- ENDORSES?

This year, I am seeing large healthcare corporations DROPPING OUT OF Medicare-C also known as Medicare Advantage prgms, seemingly over poor reimbursement rates and draconian prior approval processes. Is this year just the beginning of a trend of  Medicare-C having fewer and fewer providers in their network?

Is this more a issue of MANAGED PROFITS and MANGLED CARE?

  1. United Healthcare has ALWAYS mangled care and hidden behind preauthorization. I refuse, having been in their clutches before, to go there again.
