June 2012 Meeting

June Meeting:
Saturday, June 16, 2012
IHOP Restaurant
212 Madonna Road
San Luis Obispo, CA

Speaker:  Joyce Lippman, Chief of Area Agency on Aging.  Her subject will be the National Health Plan, often referred to as "Obamacare."

The turn-out for this meeting was a little disappointing.  We all agreed it was probably because of Father's Day and most everyone was busy with family.

For the older members, which is just about most of us, this was one of the more important presentations.  Ms. Lippman, is a representative of local Area Agency on Aging, aka Central Coast Seniors.  Her presentation was focused on the effects of Obamacare on seniors.  There was a 15 minute video on the important parts of Obamacare that effects seniors.  Very interesting. 

The presentation was far too detailed to make even a brief summary.  Suffice it to say, if you are over 65, and on Medicare, you need to review the provisions of the coming law.  You may obtain, free of charge, (your tax money at work), some easy to read and informative brochures.

An important part of the above web site if HICAP Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program.  They can answer, and will schedule a personal counseling session in a location close to you, any of your questions about Medicare.
