RC 10 members gather at NYSUT Headquarters for one of the conference events.
Have you wondered what it would mean to have single payer insurance under a “Medicare for All” movement? Please join us for a presentation by Dr. George Jolly about what these terms mean and how it would affect you as a retiree. We will watch a film, “Now is the Time,” which will provide some history of the concept, followed by an update on the “Medicare for All” movement. This will include an explanation of how a model retiree would be affected and some data on how local governments would be impacted. There will be time for discussion and questions.
The afternoon presentation will be by Ani Shahinian, a licensed certified social worker (LCSW) who works as a social services specialist at NYSUT Social Services. Research shows that aging is no longer just seen as lost youth but a new stage of opportunity, strength, and happiness. This workshop will discuss how aging and happiness are related and how NYSUT Social Services is a valuable resource in providing support and information to our members and their families.
This workshop and lunch will be free of charge. The $20 reservation fee will be returned to you after the workshop has ended and you return a short evaluation.
