U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan discusses the Save Medicare Act, a bill to rename Medicare Advantage and ban these private health insurance plans from referencing Medicare in their marketing to prevent confusion among seniors.
New legislation from House progressive lawmakers wants to change the name of Medicare Advantage (MA) to ‘alternative private health plan.’ The legislation would relabel MA and significantly fine any insurer that uses Medicare in plan titles or advertisements.
Some congressional Democrats say the Advantage plans are scams and are co-sponsoring the Save Medicare Act. The bill aims to stop private plans from calling themselves Medicare to protect actual Medicare and ensure seniors understand their coverage.
