Medicare Advantage Rate Hikes

from The Founders Show

Hy McHenry & Christopher Tidmore speak with Darren Grubb of Medicare Advantage Majority on the effort to underfund Medicare Advantage. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed a 0.09 percent payment increase. That rate was not reflective of real-world healthcare costs and risked significant premium increases for over 50% of Medicare recipients. CMS later agreed to a 2.48 percent rate increase for 2027. Hy and Christopher also discuss the Alberta independence referendum and its potential impact on Canada and oil entering the U.S. The show concludes with the spat between Trump and Pope Leo. Hy finishes by speaking on the importance of John Wesley.
