Thursday webinar on covering ACA to focus on baby boomers and Medicare beneficiaries

The Kaiser Family Foundation's series of informative webinars for journalists covering the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act continues Thursday from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. ET. The fifth installment of the webinar will concentrate on how the act affects baby boomers and Medicare beneficiaries. Kaiser senior fellow Karen Pollitz "will focus on the ACA’s role for baby boomers who are not yet 65, and eligible for Medicare, and their access to new coverage options in marketplaces and/or their eligibility for premium subsidies or Medicaid expansions." Dr. Juliette Cubanski, an associate director of the Program on Medicare Policy at Kaiser, "will talk about how the ACA impacts Medicare benefits and beneficiaries." Most of the hour will be questions and answers.
