Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) has released a major new report exposing how Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are deepening racial and economic inequities in American healthcare.
No Real Choices: How Medicare Advantage Fails Seniors of Color documents how MA plans restrict access to care, deny coverage for needed treatments, and divert billions in taxpayer dollars away from patient care and into corporate profits.
Our CEO, Mark Craig, was pleased to contribute to the report, detailing how prior authorization is fueling the physician shortage and how corporate payer tactics are pushing safety-net hospitals toward collapse.
As with our own findings, PNHP’s research underscores that these problems are systemic, rooted in a program design that rewards delay and denial over delivery of care.
We’re proud to have played a role in helping shine a light on these long-standing inequities. We encourage you to read the full report and share it widely.
