PNHP past president Dr. Ana Malinow appeared on “Rising Up With Sonali” on Free Speech TV and Pacifica radio stations on May 25, 2022. Dr. Malinow described the dangers of Medicare Direct Contracting and REACH, which allow third-party (often corporate) middlemen to “mange” the care of Traditional Medicare beneficiaries.
Dr. Malinow was especially critical of the claim that these programs would do anything to advance equity: “We cannot possibly trust corporations, which created inequality in the first place, to achieve health equity.”
