Letter: Seniors Will Remember
December 2, 2021
Originally published in the Pierce County Journal
As a Medicare Advantage member, I urge our members of Congress to protect the Advantage program and oppose ideas to use the program to fund other government spending.
As Washington debates various spending ideas it is concerning that media reports have indicated that some in Congress have considered the idea of making cuts to the program that over 500,000 Wisconsin seniors rely on to provide quality and affordable healthcare. Providing the same benefits as original Medicare, plus added benefits like an out-of-pocket max, vison, fitness memberships and preventative care, Medicare Advantage is the type of program Congress should be supporting, not looking to cut.
Seniors not only like our Advantage plans, but we vote, and we won’t forget those in Congress who don’t support our healthcare.
