Medicare chapter in CT Healthcare Explained updated

We’ve made another massive update to CT Healthcare Explained – this time to the Medicare chapter. The update was prompted by new numbers and new research, especially about Medicare Advantage plans. We also included the changes to the program required by the budget bill passed by Congress and the Trump administration this month.

CT Healthcare Explained is our explainer website cutting through the complexities of our state’s healthcare system. Like the other 17 topic sections, Medicare includes a Basics summary and a much longer Deeper Dive into the issue. In the left-hand bar, you can skip to your specific question.

Let us know what you think of the update, the rest of the site, and anything we are missing. There is a feedback box at the bottom of every page.

Many thanks to the intrepid team of health policy wonks who collaborated to develop the site and to the stakeholders on our Advisory Committee who keep us honest and balanced.
