2 IMPORTANT CARA EVENTS ABOUT MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SOCIAL SECURITY

OWL-SF is proud to spread the word: The California Association of Retired Americans (CARA) will be hosting two very important Zoom events in January, focusing on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Movement to End Privatization of Medicare

Presents:

Forum on OHCA: Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025 at 7 pm Pacific

What is the Office of Health Care Affordability?
Who Wins, Who Loses?

Join the Movement to End Privatization of Medicare for an Educational Forum on the Office of Health Care Affordability (OHCA). Learn what it is, and how it could impact your health and the health of your community. OHCA promises to control costs through cost caps and value-based payment.

Will cost caps control health care costs? Will workers see health premiums shrink? Will the health of the people of California improve? Could value-based payment promote the proliferation of profit?

Moderator: James G. Kahn, M.D., M.P.H., emeritus professor in the Phillip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies at U.C.S.F.
Presenter: Ana Malinow, M.D, retired professor of pediatrics, UCSF.

Panelists:
Catherine Frugoni, M.D.
, Deligate, California Medical Association;

Stephen Vernon, F.M.T., Board, Healthy California Now, representing Therapists for Single Payer, which he co-founded;
Michael Lyon, San Francisco Grey Panthers, Senior and Disability Action;
Peter Shapiro, Board, Healthy California Now.
