Getting Medicare Right
The Medicare Rights Center is a national, nonprofit consumer service organization that works to ensure access to affordable health care for older adults and people with disabilities through counseling and advocacy, educational programs, and public policy initiatives.

We take great pride in our diverse clients, staff, volunteers, and partners, and we embrace and encourage the differences that make each individual unique.
We understand that difference can take many forms, and we commit ourselves to hearing and amplifying the voices of diverse individuals. We respect and value personal identity, diversity, and experiences including the intersectionality of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity/expression, genetics, veteran status, or familial status.
