End the Privatization of Medicare
The annual meeting of Physicians for a National Health Program took place a week after the fall election. It drew members of allied groups from around the country, all steadfastly dedicated to eventually achieving Expanded and Improved Medicare for All. The group presented its current "Triple Aim" goals, adapted for the times:
Stop Medicare Privatization ~ Thwart the push to 100% Medicare Advantage
Improve Original Medicare ~ Cap expenses, add benefits
Build the Movement ~ Engage the majority of doctors who now favor single payer
As many know, PNHP is a go-to source for single payer background, news, talking points, and actions--helpful for both national and state advocacy. Specifically on confronting Medicare Advantage, click their HealMedicare section.
To get involved in the Movement to End Privatization of Medicare, you can contact Dr. Ana Malinow, leader of this group of doctors and activists who are working on the issue.
Another longtime great group to connect with for Medicare and Medicaid news and action is Social Security Works.You can order their book, a primer on the subject, Social Security Works for Eveyone! on the website.
