Ted’s Take: Batting Averages and Thoughtful Giving
In his series, Ted’s Take, JKTG Founder and President Ted Giovanis gives candid insights on health policy, research, the non-profit world, and more.

Ted’s Take: TG not in Part C
Medicare Part C, sometimes called Medicare Advantage, is touted as the efficient way to deliver quality care to enrollees. As someone on Medicare, I am not in a Medicare Part C. Why? Because I know better.
