Ally Letter to CMS in Support of Medicare Advantage, CY 2026

More than 100 diverse groups representing providers, health plans, community organizations and more are urging President Donald Trump and his administration to protect and strengthen Medicare Advantage for seniors, in a new letter submitted Thursday to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

The letter, led by Better Medicare Alliance and addressed to CMS Acting Administrator and Chief of Staff Stephanie Carlton, comes as millions of beneficiaries continue to face higher costs and reduced benefits after two straight years of Medicare Advantage cuts. Right now, the Trump administration is considering payment rates for Medicare Advantage and other policies proposed by President Joe Biden’s administration.
