Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]

Team @BeAHero here. Many of you have asked what you can do for Ady’s family as they grieve. One way you can help is by donating to the GoFundMe created by his friends. It would have meant the world to Ady to see folks come together to support his family. gofundme.com/remembering-ady


Medicare Advantage *appears* to be better for you if you are relatively healthy. But the problem with getting older is that, inevitably, you get sick. @SenJeffMerkley #MedicareDisadvantage


Has Medicare Advantage achieved its objectives? No. It has failed the American people. Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for explaining so succinctly. #MedicareDisadvantage


“Do not choose your health [and] prescription drug coverage based on an advertisement.” Why? Because the private insurers running ads for Medicare (Dis)Advantage have been known to deploy misleading marketing to get folks to sign up. Shame.


More and more elected officials are waking up to the fact that #MedicareDisadvantage has been a complete failure for the American people. Private insurance companies have used it to suck massive profits through denial of critical care. We need to #ReclaimMedicare.


Congratulations to the doctors who have unionized at @AllinaHealth and formed the largest group of unionized doctors in the private sector. Our lives are in their hands. They're at the forefront of fighting for safe, adequate staffing. nytimes.com/2023/10/13/bus…


What the heck are ghost networks?! Check out this clip from the @SenateFinance hearing where @SenWyden breaks it down.


Medicare Advantage is a scam & we created this graphic to explain. #MedicareAdvantage insurance companies insert themselves between you & your dr/hospital to avoid paying for your care. Link next tweet! #MedicareForAll #medicare4all #universalhealthcare #savemedicare #waleg

Senators @SenCortezMasto and @SenStabenow started the @SenateFinance hearing with some GREAT questions. Why are #MedicareDisAdvantage plans lying about coverage and denial rates? 🤔

After @AdyBarkan’s convo w/ @SenJeffMerkley about the need to #ReclaimMedicare from private insurers… @SenateFinance is holding a hearing on these private insurers' marketing abuses. The fact that this hearing is happening at all shows that our movement is gaining momentum!
