Nov. 8 Webinar: Marianne Pizzitola on the fight to end forced placement of retirees into Medicare Advantage
On Wed., Nov. 8, 2023, at 8pm Eastern, National Single Payer welcomes Marianne Pizzitola, President of the NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees to present https://www.nycretirees.org/
Fighting for Our Lives: The Battle Against Corporate Health Care.
Over 5 million of the seniors in Medicare Advantage have been forced into these privatized plans by their employers. The movement to end that practice of depriving retirees of their traditional Medicare is making a tremendous contribution to educating the public about the detrimental nature of Medicare Advantage. Marianne and her movement have won 7 court cases and have organized many thousands of retirees to assert their rights. They are an inspiration and point us in the direction of a bold grass roots activism.

Marianne Pizzitola on Medicare Advantage:
They will tell you Medicare Advantage is better, you get silver sneakers, you can get a fitbit, you’ll have free rides, we’ll give you free meals, but what they’re not telling you is, for all those perks, you are giving up the one thing that you needed your health care for. Pure access, direct access to a medical provider of your choice. To hospitals of your choice.
