Team @BeaHero here. Many of you have asked what you can do for Ady’s family as they grieve.
One way you can help is by donating to the GoFundMe created by his friends. It would have meant the world to Ady to see folks come together to support his family.

Medicare Advantage *appears* to be better for you if you are relatively healthy.
But the problem with getting older is that, inevitably, you get sick. @SenJeffMerkley#MedicareDisadvantage
Has Medicare Advantage achieved its objectives?
No. It has failed the American people.
Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for explaining so succinctly. #MedicareDisadvantage
“Do not choose your health [and] prescription drug coverage based on an advertisement.”
Why? Because the private insurers running ads for Medicare (Dis)Advantage have been known to deploy misleading marketing to get folks to sign up. Shame.
More and more elected officials are waking up to the fact that #MedicareDisadvantage has been a complete failure for the American people.
Private insurance companies have used it to suck massive profits through denial of critical care.
We need to #ReclaimMedicare.
Congratulations to the doctors who have unionized at @AllinaHealth and formed the largest group of unionized doctors in the private sector.
Our lives are in their hands. They're at the forefront of fighting for safe, adequate staffing.

From cumbersome prior authorization requirements to lack of transparency, providers and patients alike are fed up with Medicare (Dis)Advantage.

After @AdyBarkan’s convo w/ @SenJeffMerkley about the need to #ReclaimMedicare from private insurers…
@SenateFinance is holding a hearing on these private insurers' marketing abuses. The fact that this hearing is happening at all shows that our movement is gaining momentum!
Hi there @SenateFinance - I had to work very hard at getting some of my mother’s medical bills paid when she unknowingly enrolled in an Advantage plan that did not cover one of the largest healthcare providers in her area. I am watching this closely.
