The following is a statement from Alex Lawson<\/u><\/a>, Executive Director of Social Security Works<\/u><\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow, the Senate will vote on a Democratic-led Congressional Review Act resolution to stop the Trump administration\u2019s so-called \u201cWasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) Model,\u201d which is introducing AI care denials to Traditional Medicare. <\/p>\n

WISeR is not wise at all. It is a dangerous, profit-motivated experiment that allows private third parties to use artificial intelligence to delay and deny seniors\u2019 medical care.<\/p>\n

Under the WISeR pilot program, which went live in January 2026, reports already show Medicare beneficiaries are waiting 2 to 4 times longer<\/u><\/a> to access certain care. This is just one more example of the harm that Republicans\u2019 disastrous healthcare agenda has already waged on American patients. Last year, Republicans slashed $1 trillion in Medicaid and Affordable Care Act spending to line their cronies\u2019 pockets. Now, they are importing the worst parts of Medicare Advantage \u2014 automated care denials \u2014 into Traditional Medicare.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is this: Seniors who choose Traditional Medicare should not have their care blocked by AI. Social Security Works urges Senators to support Chairman Ron Wyden\u2019s (D-OR) resolution, S.J.Res. 198<\/u><\/a>, to protect seniors’ access to care.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
