The author of the story is Progressive talk radio host Thom Hartmann. For years, he had Bernie as a weekly guest. When Bernie ran for president, Thom replaced him with weekly shows with Mark Pocan.Mark Pocan is trying to get a bill passed to make it so they can't call it 'Medicare Advantage'. So many seniors have been scammed.

It also seems pretty clear he felt arguing with such people attracted listeners more than callers he agreed with. So 'free speech for those he disagreed with' and 'better ratings' aligned.Love Hartman as well. My favorite part of his shows - when someone was spouting off unsubstantiated information (crap) he would give them time to back up their statements and allow them to the front of the line to get back on the air.
A lot of my patients who have Medicare advantage plans ger shocked when tgey find out that they DONT HAVE MEDICARE Anymore.Why Are Any of Us Paying for the Scam That is Medicare Advantage? | Common Dreams
These plans are private health insurance provided by private corporations, who are then fully reimbursed by the Medicare trust fund regardless of how much their customers use their insurance.www.commondreams.org
Thank you for the firsthand report. And this is all thanks to Republicans. If you can't beat Medicare, make a scam.A lot of my patients who have Medicare advantage plans ger shocked when tgey find out that they DONT HAVE MEDICARE Anymore.
They don't know these advantage plans REPLACE their Medicare.
And are shocked when the plan won't approve an mri... or a needed surgery.
The sad thing is that these Medicare advantage plans have changed practice patterns in the medical community. Now care can be delayed because physicians won't order tests such as imaging until enough time has passed and documented issues persist..
Meaning patients with sever problems linger even though they have traditional Medicare and could be well on their way to recovery.
Yeah no. Medicare advantage has enjoyed bipartisan support.Thank you for the firsthand report. And this is all thanks to Republicans. If you can't beat Medicare, make a scam.
