In early January, the Biden administration unveiled its final Medicare Advantage proposal, sparking concerns about underfunding the insurance plan. Former Republican Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle emphasized the importance of proper funding for the 34 million Americans enrolled in Medicare Advantage.
Medicare Advantage plans, which cater to individuals over 65 and those with disabilities, have faced rate cuts under the Biden administration. The recent proposal, while not cutting rates outright, has raised questions about adequate funding as it falls below the current inflation rate.
