Advocate for MIPPA Funding

Millions of people can't afford their Medicare out-of-pocket costs. There are programs to help, but few people know about them or how to enroll. Thanks to efforts from aging network advocates, funding for the program was saved; but only until Dec. 31, 2024. After more than a decade of success, It's time to make the program permanent.
