OPINION: 'Medicare Advantage benefits encourage health and wellness, keeping enrollees out of the hospital and helping them to achieve faster and more comfortable recoveries,' writes Heather Ross of the Arizona Nurses Association.
As nurses, we look out for our patients and do our best to ensure their health and wellness. It’s what we do.
In fact, the proposed cuts could hit our most vulnerable populations the hardest. A recent analysis of the 2024 Advance Rate Notice proposal shows that treatments and care for serious health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, depression, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, could see reduced payments, leaving many patients without the care they need.
Having access to this range of benefits undoubtedly helps to improve health outcomes. And for the nursing community, that is no surprise. As nurses, we know that staying up to date on care and keeping active is critical to avoiding illness, chronic disease, and injury. Medicare Advantage benefits encourage health and wellness, keeping enrollees out of the hospital and helping them to achieve faster and more comfortable recoveries.
We believe cutting funding from Medicare Advantage will only harm a popular program that empowers providers to deliver better care to our patients while improving healthcare outcomes among clinically complex patient populations. The Arizona Nurses Association urges President Biden and CMS to reverse their planned cuts so that 30 million American seniors and people with disabilities — including more than 676,000 Arizonans — can continue receiving the health care they rely on.
