“This addresses the Medicare Advantage collapse. We’re losing ours next year. What a mess this is.”
This was inevitable.
Every major Federal intervention in medical, surgical, and nursing care since 1965 has required “bipartisan” majorities to pass. The result, starting with Medicare/Medicaid all the way to COVID has required “each side” to “get something”.
Who the President is, and how the breakdown in Congress is, determines which side gets more in any given year.
But the failure to choose if we will have a free market system or socialized medicine, and the imposition of huge programs spending vast sums of money that all have “a bit of both for Members to take home” has brought not just Medicare Advantage (a particularly badly-intentioned example of what I am talking about) but the whole system to the brink of collapse.
The next five years are going to bring changes that most Americans are unprepared for and will find, frankly, unbelievable as the whole thing falls apart.
