“Maybe Traditional Medicare Should Cover Chronic Care: Hearing Witnesses,” by Allison Bell, ThinkAdvisor

Quote:

“Medicare Advantage program managers recently announced that they want to let issuers add chronic care benefits to the 2019 benefits packages. Witnesses who appeared today at a hearing in Washington on the Medicare Advantage program welcomed the idea of adding chronic care benefits to the benefits package, but some suggested that limiting access to those benefits to Medicare Advantage plan enrollees might be unfair to people who stick with the traditional Medicare fee-for-service program.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, Administrative Coordinator, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

First the camel’s nose under the tent; now its head; next the camel carries the tent away.
