The New Health Care Reform Act: What Every Mediacre Beneficiary Should Know

An overview on what the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is and how it affects seniors. Your Medicare benefits are protected under the Affordable Care Act. Additional benefits include free yearly "Wellness" visits, preventative services such as colonoscopies and mammograms without deductibles or Part B charges, and for Medicare Part D patients, the ACA lowers the costs of prescription drugs.

This program will be held in the Library's Auditorium. For additional information, please call the Reference Desk (847/681-7031).

The goal of the Dollars and Sense series is to provide community members with the information to help manage their personal finance issues with common sense.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois has partnered with the American Library Association to provide informational presentations about the Affordable Care Act in libraries throughout Illinois.
