As a valued supporter of our fight to protect Social Security and Medicare, I urge you to check out the latest episodes of the National Committee’s “You Earned This” Podcast.

This free podcast is brought to you by the same people who are working day in and day out on Capitol Hill to preserve and strengthen your earned benefits: The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Each bite-sized episode features a special VIP guest covering an important topic affecting older Americans and their families and is hosted by Walter Gottlieb, the National Committee’s Director of Communications.

Catch up on our latest podcast episodes now:

• The Big Questions of Midlife & Beyond: We shouldn't fear older age, but embrace it, says AARP's chief public policy expert, Dr. Debra Whitman. In this episode of our podcast, she tells us that life after 50 can be fulfilling and rewarding. But for everyone to age more securely, we must defeat ageism — which costs our country socially and financially!

• What’s the Deal with Medicare Advantage Dental, Hearing & Vision Coverage: Medicare Advantage (MA) boasts about its extra dental, vision and hearing coverage. But a new study says that MA patients do not access these types of care any more often than traditional Medicare beneficiaries do, while paying about the same in out-of-pocket costs. Meanwhile, the government pays private MA insurers more per patient than for traditional Medicare. The study’s author, Dr. Lisa Simon of Mass General Brigham, tells us what’s really going on here in this episode of the podcast.
  

We know that you are busy, so our podcast episodes are no longer than 15 minutes each, making for a brisk and brief listening experience! We hope you download and listen to each free episode when you have the time.

Sincerely,

Max Richtman

President & CEO

P.S. At this moment the National Committee is waging a full-scale battle to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect Social Security and Medicare from proposed cuts in the 119th Congress. Please support our important fight with a generous gift today which will be put to immediate work on your behalf to put pressure on lawmakers and the Trump administration to reject any cuts to seniors’ earned benefits. Thank you!
