Noting that progressives in Congress recently helped lead the White House to the brink of implementing far-reaching reforms to Medicare Advantage and bringing relief to taxpayers who for years have been overpaying insurers that run the program, Rep. Pramila Jayapal on Thursday criticized the Biden administration's plan to delay making changes to the system following aggressive lobbying by the insurance industry.
' 'The administration must refuse to be bullied by health insurers, and instead must side with patients when deciding future policies. These policies can mean life or death for Medicare beneficiaries,' she said.
