Demand the REACH program be cancelled! |
The evidence is clear: Commercial insurance companies and other for-profit entities have made a mess of Medicare. What started with the stingy practices of Medicare Advantage plans has grown to include the recently launched REACH program—a dangerous experiment that threatens patients, doctors, and taxpayers.Earlier this week, I shared a letter that PNHP sent to high-ranking Biden administration officials documenting bad behavior on the part of REACH parent companies and affiliates. These companies—which have racked up numerous fines and lawsuits from the federal government—are nevertheless being rewarded with lucrative REACH contracts.This program is compromised at its core, which is why it’s more important than ever to speak up, organize our colleagues, and demand the REACH program be cancelled. |
