Another View on Health: Managing Healthcare Insurance

Americans on Medicare have until December 7th to make changes to parts C, D, and G plans for 2026. And if, you want health insurance coverage through the marketplace to start on January 1, you have a little over a week left to enroll. What are your questions about next year's health insurance coverage? What are the differences between a supplemental plan and a Medicare advantage plan? If you're purchasing health insurance through the marketplace, what should you consider beyond the increase in premium prices? On this edition of Another View, Dr. Keith Newby, Market Director of Community Health Improvement and engagement with Bon Secours, and Faye Ricketts, health advocate and founder of senior health options LLC join host Barbara Hamm Lee to talk all things Healthcare Insurance. This and all Another View episodes can be heard on demand on the show's program page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
