Washington, March 6 -- Representative Jan Schakowsky issued the following press release:
This week, U.S. Representatives Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), Mark Pocan (WI-02), and Ro Khanna (CA-17) reintroduced the Save Medicare Act. This bill renames so-called "Medicare Advantage" plans, prohibits private insurers from using "Medicare" in plan titles or advertisements, and imposes significant fines for any insurer that engages in this deceptive practice.
Many cable news watchers get inundated with commercials for private healthcare plans during the open enrollment period. Because of that, Reps. Schakowsky, Pocan, and Khanna previously filmed a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbNL8Mtm_1Q) explaining why Medicare Advantage is not Medicare.
