Informative Articles about Medicare

from ARCRA Advocacy and Education Committee

Here are two recent articles about Medicare. The first, from the New York Times, points out that some nursing homes are, inappropriately, denying Medicare benefits because individuals are not "improving." The second, from AARP, is a comprehensive discussion of the potential effects on current Medicare recipients as the new Congress and Administration begin to act on their stated intention to repeal the Affordable Care Act. By way of disclaimer, AARP is, of course, an advocacy organization, and ARCRA does not endorse their positions. or those of any other entity. But we do recommend the article to you for its thorough coverage of what could happen in the months and years ahead.
