Dennis Stretar (dennis@healthyagingtoday.com, 303.619.7562) in collaboraton with Karin Hall at the SeniorsResourceGuide.com produced videos explaining the basics of the Medicare program. The nine part series was specifically designed for the Baby Boomer Generation who began aging into Medicare this past January, 2011. There is a clear need for accurate information about Medicare options. Click on www.MedicareBasics2012.com to see the nine part videos. In length, the nine parts total approximately 40 minutes. Given people's time constraints the videos are easily viewed in 3 to 5 minute segments. The Medicare Basics video series was reviewed for accuracy and critiqued by Gloria Baca, Dennis Del Pizzo, and Brenda Hudson of Region VIII External affairs as well as Michael Fierberg, former Denver broadcast journalist and current Public Affairs Specialist for Region VIII, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
