Multimedia tutorials explain basics of HCR, Medicare

KaiserEdu.org offers in-depth slide tutorials explaining the health care reform process and the ins and outs of Medicare.

When engaging in the ever-present health care reform (HCR) discussions, it’s always helpful to take a refresher course in the basics. Kaiser has provided two narrated slide tutorials to provide members with the fundamentals of health care reform and Medicare through KaiserEdu.

 “Process of Health Care Reform Legislation” takes the participant on a virtual journey through the “nuts and bolts” of the steps required to pass HCR legislation in 111th Congress. Narration by Alan Schlobohm, senior program administrator with the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, is coordinated with slides that identify key HCR players in Congress, explain their roles in the process, and review the rules and procedures involved in passing legislation. President Obama’s agenda is also outlined as it pertains to reform efforts.

"Medicare 101: The Basics", discusses the role Medicare plays in the lives of millions of Americans. Narrator Tricia Neuman, ScD, director of the Medicare Policy Project with the Kaiser Family Foundation, explores current fiscal issues and other problems with the system that may come into play in the future.
