Congress Quietly Changes Medicare Coverage Rules Affecting Millions
Older Americans count on Medicare to provide coverage for essential health services. While there are some coverage gaps and out-of-pocket expenses that typically make getting a supplementary policy necessary, Medicare forms the backbone of coverage for most older Americans. Close to 70 million people are enrolled in Medicare, almost all of whom are seniors 65 and over.
And those who rely on this coverage received good news recently, as Congress quietly changed the rules in early February to offer important health resources for a common senior health issue.
