The Medicare Rights Center (MRC) is a national, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that helps ensure that older adults and people with disabilities get good affordable health care. MRC provides telephone hotline services to individuals who need answers to Medicare questions or help securing coverage and getting the health care they need. Education department works to teach people with Medicare and those who counsel them--health care providers, social service workers, family members, and others--about Medicare benefits and rights. Through public policy efforts, MRC brings the consumer voice to the national debate on Medicare reform. And through communications efforts, MRC works closely with local and national media outlets to ensure public awareness and understanding of Medicare issues.
