Washington D.C. — The Partnership for Part D Access, a broad-based coalition of health care stakeholders including diverse patient advocacy organizations that represent patients who benefit from treatments covered under each of Medicare’s “six protected classes,” commended the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for rejecting a proposal that would have substantially weakened Medicare’s six protected classes policy.
Medicines in the six protected classes treat serious health conditions that impact the most vulnerable beneficiaries — the frail, disabled or those with multiple chronic conditions. For these individuals, many medicines are not interchangeable. Seemingly similar patients often respond differently to the same drug: while one patient may respond well, a similar patient will have a suboptimal response, or worse. Further, drugs in the same class often have different side effects, and patients are sometimes better suited to one particular drug over another. The six protected classes policy gives doctors the ability to prescribe the right drug for the patients in their care.
“Medicare beneficiaries with the most complex, chronic conditions are breathing a sigh of relief,” said Chuck Ingoglia, President and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health, who serves as Executive Director of the Partnership for Part D Access. “The Biden administration’s decision demonstrates the need to maintain the six protected classes policy as an essential patient safeguard in Medicare Part D.” As detailed in a CMS’ announcement, this decision was “based on stakeholder feedback and other considerations.” Notably, stakeholder feedback on the proposal included the following outreach from bipartisan Members of Congress, diverse patient advocacy groups, and others:

I was having Herpes Simplex Virus then I came across a review of people testifying how they got cured and got rid of Herpes completely from their body by using Dr Osato herbal medicine. So I contacted him through his email and explained my problem to him. He told me all the things I needed to do and he sent the herbal medicine to me through UPS and he also gave me instructions on how to take the herbal medicine, which I rightly followed. After I finished taking the cure, I went for a checkup and my result was Negative and all the symptoms of herpes were completely gone from my body. If you are down with any of the following diseases/viruses like HERPES-1&2, HIV, HPV, LOW SPERM, DIABETES, CANCER, PENIS ENLARGEMENT or any other disease or ailment I recommend you to contact this great herbalist called Dr Osato he uses natural herbs to cure diseases/viruses. Be rest assured you will surely testify like the way I am doing right now by writing this amazing testimony. You can contact Dr Osato via email: osatoherbalcure@gmail.com or through WhatsApp +2347051705853.
