Comments on the Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
The Medicare Rights Center (Medicare Rights) appreciates this opportunity to comment on the Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Medicare Rights is a national, nonprofit organization that works to ensure access to affordable health care for older adults and people with disabilities through counseling and advocacy, educational programs, and public policy initiatives. Each year, Medicare Rights provides services and resources to over three million people with Medicare, family caregivers, and professionals.
Medicare Rights strongly opposes the proposed change and the NPRM’s disregard for the lives, safety, and access to care of people diagnosed with gender dysphoria. We urge the agency to withdraw this proposal in its entirety.
Any changes to the Medicare program must aim for healthier people, better care, and smarter spending—not paying more for less. As policymakers debate the future of health care, we will provide our insights here.
Thinking ahead to Medicare's future, it’s important to modernize benefits and pursue changes that improve how people with Medicare navigate their coverage on a daily basis. Here are our evolving 30 policy goals for Medicare’s future.
