    Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative. Please share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-usDear Senator/Representative -I am against the plans of this Republican Administration to make Medicare Advantage the default enrollment for Medicare, I am against the use of AI claims denial in Medicare, and I want you to fight these efforts.Medicate Advantage costs US taxpayers 14% more than if those same people were enrolled in traditional Medicare, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee. This extra $76 billion of my tax dollars gets paid to for-profit health insurance companies. Study after study has shown that Medicare Advantage, while costing more, does not lead to better outcomes for patients. Medicare Advantage deserves to be completely dismantled, not expanded, as does the new program to use AI for prior authorization in Traditional Medicare Washington state hospitals say their Medicare patients are waiting two to four times longer for procedures that are now subject to prior authorization under a new Medicare program. But this administration of Ballroom Republicans doesn't care about healthcare access or costs for ordinary Americans. Their policies show they only care about their ballroom friends and corporate profits.I want to see you develop better policies that serve every American, not just the rich.#Resist #ResistOfTheDay #Medicare #Healthcare #BallroomRepublicans

    WARNING: Dr. Oz is causing a #Gmail #Medicare nightmare!I just got word today that Dr. Oz -- head of Medicare Services -- who spent his TV career touting a variety of bizarre "cures" for all manner of diseases -- excuses Trump's eating habits saying Trump believes Diet Coke kills cancer cells and fast food has the highest quality control.This isn't funny. Worse, his presence is contaminating Medicare email as delivered to Gmail. Word is out that Medicare -- which sends a variety of important emails to recipients -- sent a "Dr. Oz Health Newsletter" to the Medicare email list -- an email full of typical Dr. Oz hype. This was so bad that Gmail -- quite reasonably -- categorized it as spam and gave it a red banner -- "potentially dangerous, risk of personal information being stolen".I was asked to try determine if this message was legit or not -- legit Medicare messages going into spam would be a major problem.My analysis at this moment -- subject to change -- is that it was probably a legitimate Medicare message, seemingly sent through a normal government email delivery system. I welcome anyone else's analysis.Legit or not, having a "personality" like Dr. Oz -- with his history -- being the focus of important government emails is an email delivery disaster waiting to happen.
