Every American deserves access to affordable, high-quality coverage and care – especially our seniors and people with disabilities. Many of these Americans have significant health care needs, as well as limited resources to pay for health care. That is why Medicare is so essential to protect our older and vulnerable citizens and our communities – and why Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are resolute in their commitment to ensure MA delivers affordability, access, quality, value, and satisfaction for everyone they serve while striving to improve health equity.
Unfortunately, certain provider organizations are targeting the MA program and its sustained success to advance their own political agenda and secure financial gains for their members. In this letter, AHIP writes to CMS to correct the record, refute false and misleading reports being spread by these disinformation campaigns, and reaffirm its strong commitment to put patients and consumers first.
