With Medicare Open Enrollment ending on Dec. 7, the LWVAC Health Care Committee felt this was a great time to host a Hot Topic presentation on Medicare by Dr. Ed Weisbart, M.D., National Board Secretary of Physicians for a National Health Program. Dr. Weisbart joined LWVAC members as well as community members in person and via Zoom to discuss Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. He explained their advantages, disadvantages and differences, and effectively utilized personal stories to explain possible problems with various choices.
