This sure appears to be an example of how big money/corporations hood wink people into doing their dirty work.  And, it ends up being in the patient's worst interest.

Under new health law, insurers target diabetics before they get lax in managing costly disease | Star Tribune

Under new health law, insurers target diabetics before they get lax in managing costly disease | Star Tribune:

Sounds like a good thing.  Community workers is a model that helps here.  MN has done some of this but the rates under Medicaid do not allow it to really work well.  Insurance companies, MCOs and the States need to expand this para-professional model idea for home visits, etc.  It works much better than a nurse calling me to bug me or getting a fancy colored mailing to bug me.  Too easy to ignore and it does not work like human contact from folks who "have been there".

Insurance industry spends millions fighting cuts to Medicare Advantage | Star Tribune

Insurance industry spends millions fighting cuts to Medicare Advantage | Star Tribune:



Personally I chose a Medicare Supplement and NOT the Advantage program.  I did not like all that money being skimmed off by the for profit insurance companies and I did not like the idea of a manged care model that would restrict my choices of providers.  I am happy with my choice and my several years of experience have shown it is better financially as well.  I also have the freedom to change, if I want, my Part D provider and have saved allot of money by doing so.
