Announcement

In March, we were in Washington, D.C. to meet with members of Congress and their staff to talk about something very personal to us: Medicare Advantage. We didn’t go as policy experts. We went as caregivers to our aging parents.

Both our parents are enrolled in Medicare Advantage. Like many of our peers, we’ve slowly taken on more responsibility as they’ve gotten older, from helping them manage their appointments and prescriptions to navigating the day-to-day challenges that come with aging.
