I read this great piece of investigative journalism by the WSJ yesterday. Thanks Jennifer for alerting us all. A few additional points:
"A December 2023 compensation plan for one UnitedHealth-owned practice offered doctors bonuses of up to $37.50 a year for each of their Medicare Advantage patients if they confirmed or ruled out more than 90% of the suggested diagnoses. That means a doctor seeing 800 Medicare Advantage patients in a year could see a bonus of as much as $30,000 a year."
Remember the bonuses pediatricians and GPs scooped up for a high % of their captive practice submitting to the jab?
Also had to laugh at the incentives to diagnose hyperaldosteronism and "qualitative platelet disorder" The Medical Industrial Complex/Pharma can only prosper more by employing doctors whose ethics are corrupted by being owned by the big insurers.
My advice? Find an independent doctor...if you still can. Look at your list of ICD-10 diagnoses. Pay for the print version of the WSJ and Epoch Times. Oh and cancel NYT and WaPo. They stopped doing real reporting like this a long time ago.
The government knows that Advantage is full of fraud and outright criminal acts and yet it’s still trying to get more people to join it.
I’d find it hard to believe that the government doesn’t give a rat’s ass about we the people except I’ve seen what it’s been doing all through the Covid scam that they created and then they released the dangerous vaccines that they know are harming and killing millions.
When people fear the government there is tyranny. We are here.
I enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan for its supplement for that which Medicare covers at only 80%. That's the only reason since I don't go to doctors, don't take any prescriptions for anything, and stay healthy year round.
If something major happened that cost in the hundreds of thousands, 80% coverage would have a huge impact on us. That said, should I trust my Advantage Plan to cover me? I don't know...Getting too tired from this alleged "society" that I live in to worry or care.
I am so disillusioned by the government health insurance system that i want to completely reject coverage. Turning 65 this year and the barrage of junk mail, insurance propaganda and phone calls selling the crap system is astounding and disgusting.
I paid for part A. I don't want B, C or any other alphabet letter add-on.
Can i continue to self pay what little 'doctor-consuming' i use? My 3 steady scripts are discounted generics.
I know the consequences.
I've had experience with a family member who skipped B from ignorance and now pays a penalty percentage backdated 18years because she's in extremely poor health.
I have the Humana Medicare Advantage plan. However, I refuse to take pills and things not necessary. Only contact the doctor when I have a problem. I refused the jab and anything else not needed. So for me who controls my own health, it does works. In addition to no charges for seeing the doctor, Humana gives a special health debit card for over the counter products $100 every quarter. That does help me, as I take lots of supplements.

TeleDoc?! Lost my Independent Doc (his practice "aligned" with the tri-county, gobble-em-up Hospital behemoth) during the Plandemic. Progre$$.

Any hope that RFK jr will make things better?
Pessimistic that we'll see $ studies, news will cry "they're cutting healthcare" because we are told Insurance=health.
Sad. And SAD.
HUGELY helpful info! Thank you. A scam around every corner. Bastards.

Too bad I didn't know this 8 years ago.
And how much in premiums would you have saved? Or ... Did you get your moneys worth in care? Can you possibly know?
