I'm not sure what their core claim here is. It appears as if they want to sell to Medicare customers and allow Medicare to pay for it. Medicare is a tough negotiator and because it's a huge marketplace they can be. That negotiatin

August 18th 1920 women were granted the right to vote in the United States. It is more than 100 years later and women are not required to register for the selective service. The sales pitch of feminism to men rings hollow when equal rights
