And Dr. Mara discussed Medicaid in the elderly and what the changes in Medicaid could mean for older adults and their loved ones.  Many people feel that they are immune to the changes in Medicaid, but the bottom line is that we are all going to get old, if we’re lucky, and many of us will have elderly parents at one point or another.  These changes in Medicaid will affect the elderly significantly.  This is not a “Right” or “Left” issue.  Listen and find out how this may affect your loved ones.
