Medicare and the “Threats to Health Security for Seniors/Privatization of Medicare."

We will meet October 18
at the Washburn Library Basement Meeting Room
from 6-8 pm. 

 

Ours is an aging population, as is true of many rural counties in WI. As citizens reach 65 and each subsequent October through December, we are inundated with emails, phone calls, TV/Media advertisement and mailings urging us to switch away from traditional Medicare-the program that brought tears of relief to our grandparents and closed down the County Poor Farms. The advertising is confusing and is not without consequences both for individuals but also to the solvency of Medicare itself.

The evening will begin with speakers from the Health Care Access team of Wisconsin Citizen Action, with a panel of local health experts responding, and ending with participants' questions/comments.
