Hoping to switch out of MA plan, like one that denies needed care, and into Medigap+traditional MC? Good luck if you now have an exclusionary condition. Medigap guaranteed issue rights are limited to specific scenarios #medicareadvantage

“Many people, faced with fighting insurance companies, simply give up: One study found that Americans file formal appeals on only 0.1% of claims denied by insurers under the Affordable Care Act.” Prepping an appeal takes days, knowledge. Need more support for patients to fight.

Last yr was exhausting. Being a surgeon & Chair is hard but doing it as an (only) daughter caring for aging, ill parents seems impossible. We MUST create a more supportive community, inventory/avail resources & provide paid eldercare leave. #MedTwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
