For over 50 years, Medicare has given us peace of mind, confident that we will have healthcare as we age. But changes over time to Medicare programs are threatening to bleed Medicare lifeless in just a few years — largely without the public knowing why.

Please plan to join us on April 18 at the Stillwater Public Library from 6:30-7:45 pm to learn what’s happening behind the scenes.
Mark your calendars for this can’t miss event.
Local physician, Ken Engelhart, will speak about How Medicare Advantage Plans and Corporate Profiteering are Bankrupting Medicare and What We Can Do About It.
We’ll learn that Medicare could be bankrupted as early as 2030 and the reasons that it is being bankrupted will make your blood boil. We will also explore what we can do to make our voices heard on this important issue.
