Is the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services too stupid to audit? Medicare Advantage has always been a scam in its denial of services to seniors, and now it's also a fraud in how these guys roll. up companies. We need a whistleblower to talk to the FTC and prosecute for monopoly. And people just getting on Medicare are not hip to this. Great article that should be in the WSJ.

Thank you, Merrill, for this important piece on PE in home healthcare in MA. And, the use of AI to determine service eligibility and/or continuation is a travesty. All told, I understand that MA costs taxpayers and the gov’t more than traditional Medicare and this should be unacceptable as beneficiaries get less and investors get more. Please correct me if I am wrong…but luring people into MA on low cost promises and frivolous benefits like Silver Sneakers puts them at greater risk for not getting what they need when really sick. Can’t think of much crueler “care”…
