In support of a range of folks including President Obama and his local orthopedists, Gilbert Cranberg takes on Medicare Advantage plans in the Nieman Foundation’s Neiman Watchdog.
Cranberg urges the press to pay close attention to the impending showdown between the president and a coalition of insurance companies and Medicare Advantage clients grown accustomed to heavy government subsidies. The administration estimates cutting the Advantage program will save $176 billion over the next decade, money the president hopes to use to expand coverage.
