Extend the benefits of the Affordable Care Act to those with Medicare Advantage Plans

The Issue

As of 2014, there are an estimated 15.7 million people enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. Yet, it is still difficult for some of these beneficiaries to find providers who accept these plans, and I am one of them. It has been quite challenging to find certain specialists who accept Medicare Advantage plans, which I believe a) is a violation of the ACA, or b) proves the inefficiency of the current legislation. I can't afford to pay the out-of-pocket expenses to see these doctors, and I'm assuming many of the other 15.7 million Medicare Advantage enrollees, and 54 million Original Medicare beneficiaries, can't either.

Please sign my petition to convince Congress and the President to assist the millions of Americans who depend on their insurance. Thank you.
