What this bill would do

This bill proposes to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act. It seeks to impose new limitations on contracts with Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations. These limitations would apply to contracts entered into or renewed after one year from the date of enactment. Under the bill, the Secretary would be restricted from entering into or renewing contracts for more than three MA plans per organization for a single plan year. Additionally, an organization could only offer more than one plan if each plan is significantly different in its premiums, benefits, or cost-sharing structure.

The opposite

  • Would people over 65 be better off under this?-3

    Limiting the number of plans an organization can offer may reduce the diversity of choices available to senior citizens.

  • Would retired people be better off under this?-3

    The bill may reduce the variety of Medicare Advantage options available to retirees by capping the number of plans one organization can offer.

  • Does this put more money into Medicare, the health coverage for people over 65?-2

    The restriction on plan variety could lead to reduced competition and administrative overhead for Medicare Advantage programs.
