Medicare helps millions of older Americans stay healthy, but it isn’t free. The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) helps make Medicare affordable by providing funding to find and enroll low-income people into money-saving programs. New legislation would reauthorize MIPPA for five years.

Eating well, staying active, and being proactive about reducing our risk for chronic diseases, like cancer, are all part of aging well. When found early, the survival rate for colorectal cancer is high. New screening technologies offer more options.
