A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897. You can have a hand in ensuring that our reporting remains relevant in the decades to come. Consider supporting The Chief, which you can do for as little as $3.20 a month.
Thankfully for NewYork-Presbyterian patients, the hospital reached an agreement that will allow patients with Aetna coverage to continue to be covered when treated by that hospital's physicians.
But this is something that those covered by Medicare don't have to worry about.
That is one reason why Medicare Advantage is not a good idea. It's also why Senator Bernie Sanders' long-ignored proposal of Medicare-for-all is a good idea.
