AI Summary
This Joint Resolution requests the President of the United States to immediately end the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (REACH) Model, which is a program within the federal Medicare system. The ACO REACH Model is a payment system where organizations, known as ACOs, receive a set monthly payment to cover a portion of a senior's medical expenses, and they can keep any leftover funds as profit after paying for care. The resolution argues that this model creates incentives for these organizations to ration care, potentially leading to less comprehensive healthcare for seniors, and that it drains billions of dollars from Medicare that could otherwise be used for patient care. The stated goals of this resolution are to eliminate corporate profiteering within Medicare and to expand consumer-directed access to care as it exists in Traditional Medicare, which is the original Medicare program where patients can generally see any doctor enrolled in Medicare and providers are paid directly.
