Did you know...seniors of color enrolled in Medicare “Advantage” are offered lower quality plans, face higher rates of prior authorization denials, and suffer worse health outcomes compared to their white counterparts?

Drugs needn’t cost so much. Why do they? Because of pharmaceutical profiteering. Cut out PBM, implement M4A, negotiate prices nationally for generics

Why is the government shutdown? Republicans don’t support continued expansion of the ACA Marketplace subsidies for working class families, leading to double or even triple the costs for families. For most, this is their only option

Remember to sign up for Medicare. If you can afford it, Avoid Medicare Part C at all costs no matter what they promise it covers. Seniors need Medicare A, B, D, and G.

Private insurers are efficient at two things,… making money off you for Wall Street investors and denying care

The Medicaid Work Requirements Contradict their stated purpose. 92% of Medicaid benficiaries are already working, caretaking, or enrolled in in school

Why is our government closed? Because healthcare access, vital to millions of Americans, is on the line. Trump wants to take that away.

Should doctors and PNHP be fighting for continuation of the ACA Expansion as Trump rolls back access for millions?

Dr. Carol Paris, Past & Future PNHP President, speaks about Centene Health's rebates because of over spending on Administrative expenses (CEO pay and care denies). #medicareforall would solve this by removing the corporate middlemen, reducing overhead from upwards of 15% to less than 2%.
