3. These DCEs can KEEP any surplus money they don't spend on care.

Medicare gives them money. They deny or restrict care. And they get to keep the leftover $ they got from Medicare. THAT's what they're after.

It doesn't take a genius to see where this is going. Talk about "death panels". This shit is the epitome of it.

PLEASE put pressure on Xavier Becerra, HHS, POTUS, Medicare.gov to ABOLISH these DCEs.

My time isn't here yet but when it is I hope to God regular Medicare + a supplement is still available because I'd like to avoid freaking Advantage. I just want A, B, D and a supplemental.

It's estimated that with these DCEs, Medicare will be completely privatized in a decade or so.
