What Biden's Not Telling You About His Attack on Medicare Advantage

It’s January, and with a new year comes a fresh threat to both taxpayers and seniors: Further cuts to Medicare Advantage, courtesy of the Biden administration.

This could occur soon, as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will release a boring-sounding “rate notice” relating to Medicare Advantage in the coming weeks. …

Studies show that Medicare Advantage greatly aids overall Medicare solvency and delivers better value for taxpayers, consumers and seniors. So what happens in the coming weeks could matter a lot to you, your older relatives and friends, and even your kids and grandkids, who will someday bear the cost of paying for entitlements.

A lot of people missed last year’s stealthy cuts to Medicare Advantage. And for good reason. The government worked hard to keep the cuts on the down low.

[My wife has a great Medicare Advantage plan, although the ObamaCare changes made participation more expensive. As Johnson says, it’s an effective partnership between government and the private sector, which is why progressives continually attempt to attack it. They want to destroy private-sector health care and replace it with a single-payer Medicare for All. They can’t get it in one fell swoop, so they keep nibbling at it with chicanery like this. — Ed]
