In 2024 there were over 10,000 reports of fraud in Idaho totaling $53.9M in losses. AARP Idaho will offer tips on how to protect yourself from fraud as part of a telephone town hall with a federal official who has worked for decades ferreting out scams and deceptive and unfair business practices.
You're invited Join us for an important conversation. Americans pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world and many seniors are forced to choose between filling a prescription or putting food on their table. We're hosting a live and interactive statewide telephone town hall to discuss this issue with Leigh Purvis, Director of Health Services Research in AARP’s Public Policy Institute. We will take your questions on the air and talk about common sense solutions to skyrocketing prescription drug prices.
Whether you're seeing it for the first time or watching it again, Catch Me If You Can is a classic. This Oscar-nominated movie, directed by Steven Spielberg, looks at the life of Frank Abagnale, Jr. In his early years Abagnale (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) successfully impersonated a doctor, a lawyer, and a co-pilot for a major airline — all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he was also a brilliant forger, whose skill gave him his first real claim to fame. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (played by Tom Hanks) makes it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him. (Rated PG-13 for some sexual content and brief language.)
