Participating Organizations:
Right now, the Biden Administration is considering increasing payments to insurance corporations that offer Medicare (dis)Advantage. We need to let the President know that we DO NOT want our tax dollars to go to wealthy corporations that delay and deny care in order to turn a profit. Instead, those funds should be invested in delivering care for patients!
Here’s the truth: Insurance corporations that offer Medicare (dis)Advantage (like United Healthcare, Aetna, Huama and BlueCross BlueShield) are overpaid by at least $88 BILLION dollars every year. We shouldn’t be handing over more money to increase those overpayments!
How you can help: Encourage your friends and followers to sign our petition to President Biden and demand he Reclaim Medicare from greedy corporations!
Use this toolkit to make your voice heard, and reach out to volunteer@beaherofund.com if you need help or have any questions!

Here are some ideas of what to say - these are optional guidelines, so please feel free to make any adjustments or write something completely different!
- Corporations like @UHC @Humana @Aetna and @ElevanceHealth deny care to millions of people, and make HUGE profits!
- We need to #ReclaimMedicare! These #MedicareDisadvantage plans are bad for patients and providers, but they’re great for profit hungry corporations.
- It’s time for @POTUS to stand up to these greedy insurance corporations! @WHCOS and @CMSgov please make sure President Biden does the right thing—no more money for insurance corporations that fail to provide care to patients on #MedicareDisadvantage
Take it a step further by telling YOUR Medicare Disadvantage story! Some things to consider:
- What is a challenge you’ve faced when trying to access or provide care? What impact has that had on your life?
- What choices did you make to address that challenge? Was there a moment you decided to get involved and fight to Reclaim Medicare?
- What was the outcome of that choice? After you got involved, what happened? Did you meet new people? Did you talk to your elected officials about finding a solution?
- If you want to see some powerful story examples, you can watch these videos from Rob, Megan, and Jacob.
