Who What Where When and How-I hope someday that Advocate Health Care will be forced to answer Why

This is not a traditional blog in that it is not a journal. I created it to store annotated documents that illustrate how Advocate Health Care, of Oak Brook, IL., circumvented several Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regulations, with the blessing of CMS. These regulations were established to protect Medicare + Choice (Medicare Advantage) customers from being wrongly denied essential health care.

The result was that several Advocate Health Care beneficiaries endured a lot of harm.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people give a damn...even though anybody who has a Medicare or Medicare Advantage policy should be very concerned because the same thing can happen to them.

Advocate CEO, James Skogsbergh, rewarded by Mayor Rahm Emanuel

As I have written before, nobody has ever been willing to make Skogsbergh accountable for the harm that Advocate caused to my folks. I understand that probably nobody reads this, but we did not have the money, and thus the power, to pay for justice...so this is the best that I can do. I want to keep the memory of what happened to my folks alive. I do not intend it to be an extended rant, and that is why I have documented everything so carefully. Perhaps, someday, somebody important will be harmed by Advocate, and then the...uh...wrongdoers...at Advocate, might be made accountable.
