Salinas, CA Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services Plans To Make Equal Care For All Seniors A Priority
by Richard Kuehn on 09/09/15
Federal regulators made a great move, announcing a plan which will bring health care for poor senior citizens up to a level which is more on par with elderly men and women that are middle income and wealthy as well as making sure minorities are given good care. The Department of Health and Human Services pointed out this issue over 30 years ago and yet the disparity still exists today. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released what it is calling the “equity plan” which set a goal of four years for addressing the differences in benefits. In addition to focusing on low-income and minority seniors, the government said that it will consider sexual gender minorities, those with disabilities and those living in rural areas.
