Annual Report
2012 Annual Report Getting Medicare Right 2 Message From Joe Baker and Bruce Vladeck 3 Who We Are 4 Counseling & Assistance 12 Volunteers 13 Education 16 Newsletters 17 Media 19 Public Policy 22 Fiscal Year 2012 Finances 23 Our Supporters 27 Board of Directors 28 Staff A Message From: Joe Baker, President, and Bruce Vladeck, Chairman of the Board Dear Friend, You probably heard a lot about Medicare in recent months. During a busy campaign season, and leading up to the New Year, Medicare found itself squarely in the spotlight, as presidential, senatorial, and congressional candidates voiced their plans to reduce the federal deficit by cutting Medicare. Amidst these discussions about the national debt, the Medicare Rights Center strengthened its services to people with Medicare while working in Washington to protect the promise of the program—ensuring that 50 million older adults and people with disabilities have access to comprehensive and affordable health care. Medicare Rights empowers people with Medicare—and those who support them—to advocate for themselves to access quality, affordable Joe Baker and Bruce Vladeck health care. During the last fiscal year, volunteers and staff on our national Consumer and Spanish-language Helplines provided over 12,000 answers to beneficiaries with Medicare questions. By successfully processing thousands of benefits for these individuals, we secured $6.2 million in out-of-pocket savings for them, their families, and state and local governments. In addition, Medicare Rights counseled more than 2,300 professionals in 2012, each of whom went on to help multiple people with Medicare; many of these professionals came to us through our Community Partners program, which builds the capacity of New York City nonprofits to better serve their own older and disabled clients.

As New York State Senators, we are responsible for overseeing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which includes New York City Subways and Buses, the Long Island Rail Road, and Metro-North Railroad. The largest public transit authority in the United States, the MTA’s daily ridership reached a pre-COVID-19 high of nearly nine million people. We are also reaching out to our fellow colleagues in our neighboring states of New Jersey and Connecticut to build a coalition and urge them to write similar letters to their congressional delegations. It is critical we work together to build momentum to include emergency relief funding for transit in the next COVID relief bill, given the vital economic, social, and environmental importance of the public transportation industry. In recent years, we have voted repeatedly to create new funding streams at the state level to support the operations and growth of MTA services, without which the region would collapse. Now, however, those resources are outmatched by the devastation of the ongoing pandemic.
