Heartbroken and horrified by the loss of my friend Brian Thompson. He was a devoted father, a good friend to many and a refreshingly candid colleague and leader. All of us at AHIP are thinking of Brian’s family and his UnitedHealth Group colleagues at this difficult time.

Spot-on comments from Chris Bond about how engaged Medicare Advantage seniors are at the grassroots level. Millions of seniors across America will be watching closely to see if elected officials of both parties keep the promise to protect their benefits moving forward.
Seniors have been active this fall ensuring policymakers of both parties understand how much they value the better care at lower costs that they receive through Medicare Advantage. Two consecutive years of cuts to MA are now harming millions of seniors’ coverage options and affordability — and we expect elected officials will continue hearing a very clear and direct message from seniors: keep the bipartisan promise to protect MA.

Employer-provided coverage remains the backbone of our health care system, delivering high satisfaction for workers and their dependents and stability for local providers. That's why the American people are counting on policymakers to support and strengthen this indispensable source of coverage.
A strong majority of Americans say they're satisfied with their employer-provided plans, rate them as high quality and feel protected by them in the case of medical emergencies. Lawmakers must work to protect, not undermine, this system of care for the more than 180 million who rely on these plans for their health and well-being.
