“I am your constituent and I am appalled that the Department of Health and Human Services and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services are operating the ACO REACH program.
Here is a brief summary of this Trump Era giveaway to private companies. Traditional Medicare recipients are signed up without their knowledge into medical networks and have to change doctors to go back to Traditional Medicare. ACO REACH middlemen get to keep 40% of the money the government gives them to care for patients as profit. There is huge incentive to deny service. There is also an incentive to list patients as sicker than they are to get larger capitation fees from the government.

I want you to send a letter to both Xavier Becerra, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and to Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, head of CMS and tell them that this is a huge giveaway of public funds, takes choice away from seniors, and, like Medicare Advantage, is set up to be rife with fraud. Let seniors have the Medicare they were promised. Here are their email addresses.
