BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined over 60 bipartisan colleagues in urging the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to continue support for the Medicare Advantage Program, which provides quality health care to millions of seniors and individuals with disabilities nationwide.
“The number of Americans who choose Medicare Advantage continues to grow each year, with enrollment doubling over the last decade, resulting in Medicare Advantage serving nearly 50 percent of individuals eligible for Medicare,” wrote the Senators. “In 2023, average Medicare Advantage premiums will fall to a 16-year low of $18 per month and beneficiaries will have access to vital financial protections, including out-of-pocket spending limits and often prescription drug coverage for no additional premium.”
“We are committed to our nearly 30 million constituents across the United States who rely on Medicare Advantage, and to maintaining access to the affordable, high-quality care they currently receive. We ask that the Administration provide a stable rate and policy environment for Medicare Advantage that will strengthen and ensure the long-term sustainability of the program—protecting access to its important benefits on which our constituents have come to rely,” concluded the Senators.
