More than 100 diverse groups representing providers, health plans, community organizations and more are urging President Donald Trump and his administration to protect and strengthen Medicare Advantage for seniors, in a new letter submitted Thursday to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
“Maintaining and improving Medicare Advantage remains crucial to ensuring millions of beneficiaries continue receiving the comprehensive, coordinated care they need to stay healthy,” said Joel White, President of the Council for Affordable Health Coverage. “We encourage this administration to fight to keep Medicare dollars in Medicare and work to reverse damaging policies that have contributed to rising costs and decreasing options for care.”
