        Our health care crisis is a result of insurance company fraud. Single payer is the only answer. Eliminate insurers.

        It's time for insurance companies to stop ripping people off by getting congress to vote for Medicare for all universal healthcare.

        This is what happens when insurers get to categorize people's diagnoses & medical risk--& then bill accordingly. Strong case for regulation.

        This is a highly regulated system. What changes to the risk adjustment system are you proposing?

        One in which doctors, not insurers, assign diagnoses & assess medical risk. If insurers are free to decide those things, only they win.

        & lessons go beyond Medicare Advantage--to ACA/AHCA. When insurers decide medical risk using their perceived financial risk, only they win.

        Risk assessment, using medical evidence, is part of what any doctor/provider should do when talking w/ patients about their own risk & care.

        Those who do not are preventing their patients from making informed decisions about care. This must change. Address 2 birds w/ one stone.

        I was expecting a news flash. Really? Not news to those who work with insurances. Save you some time, so are hospitals and doctors
