Upcoming Events


Medicare Advantage: Where Is It Now, And Where Is It Going?
November 24, 2008
Barbara Jordan Conference Center
Washington, DC
Are Medicare enrollees—and U.S. taxpayers—getting their money’s worth from the private health plans that serve beneficiaries through the Medicare Advantage program? Just what is it Medicare Advantage plans are providing—and what’s this part of Medicare really supposed to accomplish? These questions have been hotly debated as long as Medicare Advantage and its precursor programs have existed. It’s likely the debate will intensify under the new administration and new Congress.  RSVP for this event.
