Medicare Advantage: Know The Facts

Body
“Over the last several years, Medicare Advantage plans have expanded throughout Nebraska. As these plans have expanded, healthcare providers like doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes have experienced several issues, ranging from denials of coverage, low reimbursement rates, and delays in providing care to our patients.”
Looking out for our senior population is a responsibility shared by all of us. That includes making sure they aren’t taken advantage of when it comes to healthcare and insurance, too.

Capitol Conversations: From Pasture to Policy

Body
On Nov. 7, I joined Senators Bob Andersen, Jared Storm, and Paul Strommen in a pledge to Nebraska taxpayers that we will not support any tax increase(s) that will grow the overall tax burden on Nebraskans. Any proposed tax/ fee increase or expansion absolutely must provide for a dollar for dollar decrease in another current tax burden, guaranteeing that we hold the line. As we move closer to the first day of session, it is important to set the parameters of how we intend to address the current budget deficit and the approach to balance it. To quote Reagan, “The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that the government spends too much.”
Sen. Tanya Storer
