I was never able to help sort donated winter clothes for Tent City (a homeless advocacy event held this weekend) this month so I stopped by after work on Thursday to help load the clothes and get them ready to be transported to the event.
There were a ton of donations there, and another truckload was being dropped off as we were loading up the sorted ones. Yay for generousity!
I also sorted out Medicare Part D a little bit more this week by sitting in on a Webinar called "Part D in 2010," about changes to the program.
The Benefit Bank can't sign people up for Medicare, but it does offer applications for a few Medicare supplements, one being Medicare Part D.
Lots of talk of premiums, deductables, donut holes (by the way, where do they get off rebranding something so delicious with something so dull??), coverage gaps, benchmarks, yawwwnnnn -- I actually caught myself dozing off at my desk at one point.
Webinars, by the way, are genius, if you are not familar. You call in like a conference call, but then everyone also clicks a link sent in their emails so that everyone can also see the Power Point slides the speaker is talking about on their computer screens. There were people from across the country on the call. There's also a "chat" window that lets people type questions during the talk.
The Webinar was actually geared more toward people who work with Part D every day, so lots of it was not really relavent for me, but it was free and I did get a better understanding of the basic program structure before they moved on over my head.
