HHS
Secretary Azar Statement on 2020 Medicare Advantage Rate Decrease
Ahead of this fall’s Medicare Open Enrollment, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced on Tuesday
that, on average, Medicare Advantage premiums in 2020 are expected
to decline 23 percent from 2018 while plan choices, benefits and
enrollment continue to increase.
HHS Secretary Alex Azar issued the following
statement:
“President Trump has promised American patients a
system with affordable, personalized healthcare, a system that puts
you in control, provides peace of mind, and treats you like a human
being, not a number. That is what CMS has been delivering with its
improvements to Medicare Advantage: lower costs, more options, and
benefits tailored to patients’ needs. This proven record of
success—decreasing premiums in both Medicare Advantage and Medicare
Part D—contrasts with proposals for a total government takeover of
healthcare, which would destroy options such as Medicare Advantage
that seniors increasingly choose.”
