Now is the time to make your voices heard – as the Center and colleague organizations work to highlight other priorities for improving Medicare, and push for the proposals currently under consideration to be more robust. This moment presents a truly rare opportunity to legislate a meaningful expansion of Medicare benefits. It is a crucial time for people to contact and urge their federal lawmakers to make important improvements to the program for all current and future generations of Medicare beneficiaries. If Congress misses this chance, it could be a very long time before we will see another opportunity.
Send a message to your members of Congress asking them to improve the traditional Medicare program by controlling private Medicare Advantage and prescription drug costs; adding an out-of-pocket cap; adding dental, hearing and vision services; improve affordability, including strengthening low-income protections, and expanding rights to purchase Medigap policies:
