STRIDE Community Health Center ’s Post

Juneteenth—the annual celebration of June 19, 1863, when enslaved Black Americans learned they were legally free—was declared a federal holiday in 2021, marking the end of a terrible time in our nation's history. Today is a time to critically examine policies that uphold discrepancies in health equity - and then change them. Advocates for Community Health envisions a health care system where all Americans have a fair and just opportunity to be healthy without impediment. #Juneteenth #healthequity #communityhealth #healthcenters #ValueCHCs #healthcare #healthaccess #healthdisparities #primarycare #CHCs

Sarah, will you address why Wellcare starting Jan 1 2025 is abandoning thousands of agents and brokers that have serviced and assisted Wellcare members all these years? Cutting off independent agents and agencies nationwide in 2025 will result in massive disruption to those Wellcare members currently enrolled in Part D plans. It is not fair to Seniors who rely on their local broker to guide them and assist them. It is not fair to the brokers who work hard to help them and will now be forced to turn away those same Seniors and inform them they are "on their own" for service and support. Pulling the rug out from your agent and broker community has sent shockwaves through the industry. You really should talk with Wellcare's CEO Michael Carson and direct him to retract the recent decision to eliminate all compensation for agents and brokers on part D plans, including new AND renewal policies. Is it worth alienating the massive broker community to save the company a few bucks (less than $5 per member per month)?
