Choices Fall 2014, Issue No. 1 | Página 3

CMC MAGAZINE WELCOME FALL 2014 Dear Coalition Members: hoices, the Coalition for Medicare Choices magazine, is about you. It’s about the issues that are important to you and impact your life. With Choices, you can read up on the latest activities of your fellow Coalition members. We also want to make sure you get a chance to hear directly from representatives in DC and hear what they are doing to stand up for your Medicare Advantage benefits. This edition features four perspectives from a bipartisan mix of members of Congress (pretty good considering how little bipartisanship there is these days.) Choices isn’t just about the really important things; it’s also meant to provide some fun. Whether it’s creative gift ideas, recipes, or activities, we want to help provide a little break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In this inaugural edition, check out two recipes that will add a little variety to your menu. Who doesn’t love warm pasta dishes in the cold winter months? Blog We also want to celebrate you and the 1.6 million members of the Coalition because it’s your voices and your stories that make the CMC possible. In each edition we will profile members of the Coalition like you. To kick us off, we sat down with CMC member Gordon Lipp, who talked to us about why Medicare Advantage is important to him, and what he likes to do in his spare time (HINT: it involves carving, but not pumpkins). We hope you are as excited about Choices as we are, and hopefully you take advantage of the many easy ways to share it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And by the way, if there is something missing from Choices that you would like to see – let us know. We want this to be about your interests and the things that matter the most to you. Happy reading and don’t forget to vote. – Your CMC Team
