‘UnitedHealth’s Campaign to Quiet Critics’ ~ @nytimes.com Freedom of speech + freedom of the press are fundamental rights in our democracy. We cannot let corporations silence the dissent of patients and consumers. Transparency has never been more important. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/b...

‘The broken promises of ghost networks’ from @healthjournalism.org “It’s an intended feature. It’s so maddening. We’re talking about human beings here who are in desperate need of care.” @wendellpotter.bsky.social healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/07...

“Approximately 16 million people could end up uninsured … causing massive disruptions in health care. Congress is making historic cuts to essential services to give tax cuts to the wealthy.“ www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

For decades, brokers have been incentivized to mislead beneficiaries about the “advantages” in Medicare Advantage. Now, as more patients face prior authorizations, restricted provider networks and claim denials, the industry is changing its practices. www.beckerspayer.com/payer/the-la...

Retired workers, and all people, deserve the highest quality healthcare, and Medicare Advantage isn’t it. But, unions are in a difficult position at the bargaining table, and negotiators don’t always have all the facts. Read this Op-ed about our recent webinar (youtu.be/tqq6d-jBc0s) to learn more:

Congress has an opportunity to cut overpayments to Medicare Advantage insurance corporations by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years. Instead, they are cutting $500 billion in Medicare payments to hospitals and over $1 trillion to medicaid patients. contrarian.substack.com/p/you-though...

Today, The Center for Health & Democracy and 65+ organizations sent a letter to senate leaders encouraging them to cut overpayments to insurance companies offering Medicare Advantage, rather than take health care away from millions of Medicaid recipients drive.google.com/file/d/14YbF...

Prior authorization has been a disaster in for-profit Medicare Advantage plans, and we must do everything we can to stop efforts to add prior authorization requirements in traditional Medicare. www.axios.com/2025/06/27/m...

@aoc.bsky.social had some important questions for the Secretary of Health and Human Services—yes, Secretary Kennedy, MedPac has estimated that insurance companies like UnitedHealth Care are being overpaid by $80 Billion (with a B!) every year! It’s time to #ReclaimMedicare!

After years of increased scrutiny, insurance companies like United, Aetna and Cigna now promise to ease requirements for prior authorizations. But the fox shouldn’t run the hen house, and we shouldn’t trust these corporations to just “do the right thing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/h...

‘Private equity hospitals admit healthier patients, perform more procedures, transfer Black patients.’ Health justice IS racial justice, and we need a system that puts care over cash and patients over profit. www.legalreader.com/private-equi...

“Medicare Advantage leader UnitedHealth backs home visit limits.” ~ @modernhealthcare.bsky.social … www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-pol...

Auditing Medicare Advantage plans to identity overpayments to insurers is a good start in tackling waste, fraud, abuse and corporate greed in health care, but ultimately we must reform the system to ensure big companies never rip off American taxpayers. www.crfb.org/blogs/cms-ta...

UnitedHealth Group’s army of lawyers is grasping at straws in order to dispel criticism by the media. Freedom of the press is an essential part of our democracy, so why is this corporate giant trying to silence journalists and avoid public scrutiny? www.semafor.com/article/06/0...

Listen now 🔊 CHD’s Director of Policy and Advocacy, Dr. Rachel Madley spoke with the team @codewack.bsky.social about how the US could save billions by making the healthcare system focus on caring for patients — not corporate profits. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

In addition to cutting Medicaid, the House’s bill results in massive cuts to Medicare by lowering payments to providers. Instead of cutting benefits, Congress should work to cut overpayments to insurance corporations in Medicare Advantage! www.kff.org/quick-take/h...
