As millions of Americans ready themselves to vote this election season, they need to know the various candidates’ positions on key Medicare issues. For this reason, the Medicare Rights Center is providing six questions to ask the 2016 presidential and congressional candidates to find out where they stand on protecting and strengthening Medicare.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced that it reached an important benchmark to tie 30 percent of Medicare payments to the quality of care delivered instead of the quantity of services provided. According to HHS, as a result “…over 10 million Medicare patients are getting improved quality of care by having more time with their doctors and better coordinated care.”
Welcome to the place to get the latest information about what’s going on at the Medicare Rights Center and in the world of Medicare. This space will be used to provide updates on important developments within the Medicare program as well as useful information for people with Medicare and the caregivers that assist them.
This video features two of our most inspiring and resilient helpline clients, Rose and Barrie.
Their stories are quite different. Yet in watching each of them in their daily lives, it’s clear that—when given the right support and resources—they both contribute immeasurable value to their families and communities. As Rose describes, having her independence back “makes me feel good. To be able to do for other people, that’s my goal in life.”
Access to health care isn’t just something that’s nice to have; for Rose and Barrie, it literally made all the difference in their worlds. The same is true for so many of our helpline callers.
