Important State Health
Insurance Assistance Program Information
SHIP Program In Jeopardy
Tell Congress not to eliminate funding for the State Health Insurance
Assistance Program (SHIP) that helps millions of Medicare beneficiaries
understand and navigate the Medicare Program.
CHOICES is Connecticut's State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and helps thousands of Connecticut's older adults and persons with disabilities navigate the complex Medicare
Program. Many of you may have been helped by a CHOICES trained counselor at some point in
your lives. The Senate Appropriations Committee has voted to eliminate the funding for this program. The House Committee will be voting on it in the coming weeks. Please call or email our Federal legislators and tell them to reinstate the funding for SHIP, an invaluable program that provides
free, unbiased and comprehensive information and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries to help
them compare and enroll in Medicare Advantage, Part D and/or Medigap Plans, apply for
programs that help pay for prescriptions, and so much more.
