Recent AARP research shows that an estimated 476,000 additional Tennessee residents would be eligible for health coverage—including 72,000 uninsured people ages 50 to 64—if the state opted to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

As natural disasters pummel the state, AARP Tennessee is working with the Red Cross to help older residents prepare for — and recover from — Mother Nature’s wrath. In addition to hosting a telephone town hall, the organizations are sharing vital supplies in a storm’s aftermath and resources to get ready for the next one.
