Educational ProgramsHOW HEALTH CARE REFORM AFFECTS SENIORS |
The Residences at Thomas Circle |
One benefit of aging in America has always been the quality health
coverage of Medicare. As the primary consumers of healthcare in the
U.S., anything that impacts the healthcare system impacts seniors. The
Affordable Care Act is law, but there remain multiple implementation
issues. What is happening and how will it affect seniors’ access to
health care services? Are seniors better or worse off under the new
rules? How are Medicare benefits changing? Will seniors still be able to
choose their doctors and treatments? Should they be shopping for their
own insurance? Are there new decisions they must make? Where can seniors
go for help and advice in making choices? Join our panel of experts as
they guide you through the changing landscape of senior healthcare.
