I wrote Monday about how the additional Medicare claims CVS/Aetna paid during the first three months of this year prompted a massive selloff of the company’s shares, sending the stock price to a 15-year low. During CVS’s May 1 call with investors, CEO Karen Lynch and CFO Thomas Cowhey assured them the company had already begun taking action to avoid paying more for care in the future than Wall Street found acceptable.
A very powerful indictment of the private takeover of Medicare, and the corporate control of healthcare. Your personal experience adds heft to your reporting. Thank you for your attention to these developments.
Ok, if wall street investors are going to continue to undermine the future of our healthcare, then it is time to let our federal government take over with a universal healthcare plan.
Seems to me she cares more about her compensation than any one or even all of those 400k plus lives. Follow her actions not her (likely ghost written) words.
Thank you for drawing the picture of the average humans who can't possibly wade through all the rigmarole of these insurance scams and who will be left to rot.
How did the insurance companies even get the OK to offer Medicare dis-advantage ?
We have to elect true humanists to change so many laws favoring corporations, including eliminating Medicare Dis-Advantage. The nerve of giving Medicare funds to insurers!
