The Manhattan Public Library Auditorium was the location of last night’s “What’s Happening with Medicare and Medicaid” public forum.
Janet Witt, Grassroots Manager for the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, was invited to Manhattan by a joint effort from the North Central Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging, The Manhattan Alliance for Peace and Justice and the Manhattan Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Witt spent two hours talking about medicare, medicaid, social security and what is happening at the federal level.
Through the presentation, Witt presented information, told stories and created discussions with the audience members with the main point that Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are all important services and should continue to be so.
There was talk of the Medicare A, B, C and D, the Affordable Care Act, the differences between medicare and medicaid, state exchanges, the cost of living, among other topics.
