Mississippi Seniors Speak Out Against Medicare Advantage Cuts
Published in Law and Health Weekly, July 26th, 2008
Seniors across Mississippi are speaking out against proposed cuts to the Medicare Advantage program in legislation being considered in the U.S. Senate. The legislation (H.R. 6331) would cut $39 million from the Medicare Advantage program in Mississippi alone and severely cut back the areas where Medicare private fee-for-service plans can operate, adversely impacting 18,000 Mississippi seniors enrolled in these plans.
Mississippi seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage are sharing their stories about the value their plan provides and expressing their strong opposition to the proposed Medicare Advantage cuts.
