Webinar on Aging in America & the Health Policy Community

Alliance for Health Policy is hosting a webinar on the four foundational policies: Medicare, Medicaid, the Social Security Administration (SSA), and the Older Americans Act (OAA) that have the greatest impact on aging populations. A panel of experts will have a discussion about what resources they find useful to learn the basics, details, and latest information. By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify the top 5 things policymakers need to know about Medicare, Medicaid, the SSA, and the OAA, including how they work, who they serve, and the challenges they face.
• Recognize 2–3 pressing policy issues being tracked in the current year (e.g., legislation, court rulings, regulatory shifts) that affect older Americans.
• Describe at least one innovative program or model—whether local, state, or federal—that could shape future aging policy.
• Understand real-life implications for older adults accessing these programs and barriers to care.
• Be able to debunk common myths and misconceptions about aging and benefits
