Concerns over Medicare brought many out in Colorado Springs Monday to try and get their questions answered.
It's all a part of Medicare Monday. The program helps Colorado seniors become more familiar with the government health program.
The annual meetings are held today, all over Colorado, in eight locations, including Lakewood, Littleton and Pueblo. The meetings are sponsored by the Colorado Gerontological Society.
One local senior, Millie Jones, is worried for her husband. He has Parkinson's disease and might be in a nursing home for a long time.
"After the 100th day, we pay on our own until we are out of money, and i don't know what happens then, if they kick us out on the street," says Millie Jones.

Joe, I would like to clarify that the changes that will come with the healthcare bill will not take effect until 2010 around the time of November. CGS will be there to give you all the information on those changes on another Medicare Monday, next year sometime in November.
Joe, What a relief to read a factual comment on the proposed health care bill. Appreciate and support your input.
What a pack of liars! They don't even know what the Senate has done to the bill yet, so how are they out there answering questions about healthcare when the bill hasn't passed yet? Yep, this is just another example of political pandering. Something the old timers need to recall is the old saying, wish in one hand and spit in the other . . . You honestly think Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are going to do what they say? They are lying out the side of their mouths!
