Incredibly important article - I just discussed it with my father and sent it to Wendell a few weeks ago. As a patient advocate and a medical writer with physicians as clients, I am hopeful Arends' article is just the beginning.

I will do everything I can to shout this from the mountaintops - super important and glad to hear that Brett's story is getting attention. Boiling it down to the fact that our tax dollars are subsidizing profits for commercial insurers SICKENS me. How bout this idea - get rid of MA, and take the money that HAD been going to commercial insurers (use 10% of the 22% they've been overpaying) and use it to cover the large deductibles (which is why people get MA plans to begin with!). Congress needs to wake the hell up!
