PNHP president Dr. Susan Rogers appeared on the “Healthcare-NOW” podcast on October 12, 2022. Dr. Rogers discussed the lure of privately administered Medicare Advantage plans, which offer lower premiums to seniors, but can prove costly in the long-run when it comes to copays and outright denial of care.
“I’m not an MBA, but I know that if I spend more money than I bring in, [then] I have to change something,” said Dr. Rogers in reference to the high administrative costs that are another hallmark of Medicare Advantage. “What they’ve changed is not providing care.”
