Medicare is planning a public service campaign to let seniors know that Medicare is not part of the coming Health Insurance Marketplace that’s part of the Affordable Care Act.
“You hear programs on the radio about the health care law, and they never talk about seniors and what we are supposed to do,” said Barbara Bonner, 72, of Reston, Va. “Do we have to go sign up like they’re saying everyone else has to? Does the new law apply to us seniors at all, and if so, how?”
