Tommy Thompson on Medicare's Preventative Services Podcast

According to a Los Angeles Times article published in June 2006, 90 percent of Medicare's spending goes toward treating complications of chronic disease. Through seniors' increased use of Medicare's preventative care services, Medicare believes that this number will decline, saving the health care system money and improving seniors' overall health care. In this podcast, former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson will walk beneficiaries and their caregivers through several of Medicare's preventative services and encourage them to take advantage of the currently underutilized services.
