“We’re old, we’re bold, get used to it!” — Brian Lehrer, WNYC radio host
Th3 April 1st deadline looms for Mayor Adams to decide whether Medicare remains an option for CUNY retirees as he tries to move the city work force into a Medicare Advantage plan. According to the Daily News, he plans to cut Medicare out of our health care. TAKE ACTION! SIGN the Union’s PETITION to save the Medicare option.
Listen to a segment on the Friday 3/24 episode of the Brian Lehrer show about the proposed changes and how it will change the quality of health care coverage for New York City workers: “NYC Retirees Speak Out Against Health Plan Changes.”
If you’re wondering whether Medicare Advantage is that much worse, check out a podcast on how Medicare Advantage costs more for the Federal government than traditional Medicare. Listen to Kaiser Health News’ “The policy, and politics, of Medicare Advantage.“
