The majority of American seniors choose Traditional Medicare, which does not allow third-party entities like insurance companies to interfere with the doctor-patient relationship. The REACH program betrays the promise of Traditional Medicare by placing middlemen between seniors and the care they need … and allowing those middlemen to walk away with enormous profits.
- Seniors are enrolled in REACH entities without their full understanding or consent
- The only way for seniors to leave a REACH entity is to find a new primary care doctor
- REACH entities have a financial incentive to restrict seniors’ care and reward investors
