Include in your discussion eligibility requirements for each of these programs. Debate with your group the advantages and disadvantages of an age-based or need-based program. Keep in mind that it is okay to agree to disagree about certain points in your discussion.
Consider the following case example as it applies to your findings. Brainstorm with your group the programs that you think might be most helpful to Martha?
Martha is a 62-year-old woman who lives independently in an apartment with her seeing-eye dog, Max . She lost her vision 8 years ago in a car accident. Because she had been saving for retirement, she has used that money to pay daily expenses for the last several years. She didn’t check to see if she would qualify for any government benefits because no one told her that she should. Other than to have a physical exam every 2 or 3 years, she hasn’t needed to go to the clinic or take any medication. Recently, she has developed hypertension. Because she has been unable to work for the past eight years, she is finally running out of money and is contemplating not filling her next prescription. Her expenses include food, rent, utilities, and vet bills for Max. Occasionally, she shops for clothes at a thrift store, and you’ve learned that she sometimes gives money to her church. Recently, she has had the additional expense of medication and is wondering if she needs health insurance.
