PNHP past president Dr. Ana Malinow appeared on the “Thom Hartmann Program” on December 13, 2021. Dr. Malinow discussed the dangers of Medicare Direct Contracting, a Trump-era pilot program that will automatically “align” seniors who have chosen Traditional Medicare with a (often corporate) Direct Contracting Entity that has a financial incentive to skimp on care.
She placed Direct Contracting within the larger context of Medicare privatization, which Wall Street has been pushing for decades. For more information, visit pnhp.org/StopDCEs.
