Letter: Medicare Advantage Helps Seniors Stay Active, Healthy

Dear Editor,
As I recently read in a news article, happiness spikes in our 70s. Seniors are staying healthier and living longer than ever before, and they enjoy their retirement years with lots of free time to spend with friends and family.
However, there are health complications that come with age, and that is why it is important for seniors to have quality health insurance. For me and over 30 million other seniors and people with disabilities, Medicare Advantage delivers affordable access to care.
My Medicare Advantage plan prioritizes preventative care, so that my older years are spent less frequently in hospitals. Additionally, the program offers additional benefits, such as gym memberships and fitness classes, where I can stay active and connected to my community. I also enjoy the ability to use telehealth and take my appointments virtually.
I believe Medicare Advantage helps seniors live more active, connected, and healthier lives, and ultimately, age happily.
Sincerely,
Annette Yunghans
Watertown Resident
