Specifically, we will cover:

- An overview of how Medicare currently works
- Review of the Affordable Care Act
- Changes to Part D
- Expansion of Medicare-covered services
- Improvements to low-income programs

- Updates on reform and deficit reduction

Participants will also receive copies of our helpful reform timelines, explaining when Medicare-related health care reform changes will take place, and how the elimination of the Medicare Part D prescription coverage gap will be implemented.
