The A-B-C’s of Medicare… a Starter’s Guide
Provided by Amy Farmer, Heartland of Greenville
Let’s face it - Medicare can be confusing, both for those who are
enrolled in the program and for those who are assisting loved ones in
managing their health care needs. Fortunately, help is
available! The Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program
(OSHIIP) is a program of the Ohio Department of Insurance. Since 1992,
OSHIIP’s trained staff and network of more than 1,300 volunteers
throughout the state have been educating consumers about Medicare. Last

| A
LESSON FOR ALL OF US |
Learning for Life
By Chris Mortensen, Principal, Greenville High School

Townhall... The Feds and
California in Mortal Combat
By Bruce Bialosky
Former Republican Ray LaHood, now Obama’s Secretary of Transportation,
recently announced that he wants to outlaw cell phones and navigation
systems in cars. He maintains that even hands-free cell phones

Townhall... Choice, Not Compromise
By Terry Paulson
Rep. Paul Ryan’s response to President Obama’s State of the Union
provides a clue to the political battle that is coming: “The principles
that guide us; they are anchored in the wisdom of the founders in the
spirit of the Declaration of Independence and in the words of the
American Constitution. They have to do with the importance of limited
government and with the blessing of... Read

pieces today… Amy Farmer, Heartland of Greenville, starts a series of
monthly columns with an explanation of Medicare and how it works. Chris

costs $148? Only in California, and Gov. Jerry Brown doesn’t want the
