Thanksgiving: A Survivor’s Manual

🍽️.png Does your Thanksgiving host have questionable cooking skills? Watch The Poison Squad, bring some extra dishes, and be grateful you’re not at Dr. Harvey Wiley’s table!

 

🔍.png Have a true-crime-obsessed niece you want to impress? Amaze her with your knowledge of the übermensch persona in the story of The Perfect Crime.

 

🇺🇸.png Want to show off to your politics-obsessed uncle? Tell him the story of the only successful insurrection in American history from American Coup: Wilmington 1898.

 

✍🏾.png Looking for a way to connect with your grandson who—against your advice—is double majoring in English and Anthropology? Watch Zora Neale Hurston: Finding A Space and you’ll have plenty to talk about.

 

💉.png Worried you might be seated next to your anti-vax cousin? Learn the facts of a time when Americans banded together to end the spread of a debilitating disease in The Polio Crusade.

 

🌱.png Never know what to discuss with your environmentalist sister-in-law? Watch Poisoned Ground: The Tragedy at Love Canal, Clearing the Air: The War on Smog, or Rachel Carson for some talking points!

🎩.png Love family games but not the fighting that always seems to follow? Instead of playing Monopoly, gather round to watch Ruthless: Monopoly’s Secret History for an equal amount of obsession and double-dealing.

==================================================

The rising cost of health care is affecting all Americans:

👉.png And now, people on Medicare, too!

This week, it was announced that Medicare Part B premiums will go up by about 10 percent in 2026.

So take action with AFSCME Retirees: Call your members of Congress. Tell them to give Americans relief from high health care costs.

Deciding whether to stay with your current coverage or make a change? You have until December 7 to explore all your drug and health coverage options at Medicare.gov/plan-compare. Take a few moments to find a plan that best fits your needs and budget for 2026.

COMPARE PLANS - https://www.medicare.gov/plan-compare/?utm_campaign=20251120_oep_mpf_pfa_gns&utm_content=english&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#/?lang=en&year=2026

Tips to help you take action:

  • Log in or create your Medicare account at Medicare.gov/plan-compare. With an account, it's easier to compare plans based on your specific prescriptions and local pharmacies. 

  • See if your preferred doctors are in-network for the plans you're considering.

  • Think about what benefits matter to you. Your health care needs may change year-to-year, and not all plans offer the same benefits. 

Even if you're happy with your current coverage, it's important to check for any changes next year, and compare with other available options. You may save money, find better coverage, or both!
