I'm not a big fan of "health care." I have no intention of spending my waning years running from doctor's appointment to doctor's appointment. We've all got to go eventually, either way!

If you are writing about video or other remote learning opportunities, I do not believe OLLI offers any of these. There are certainly a lot of free YouTube learning opportunities and for fees you can even get a degree by remote learning means.

If you specify learning goals perhaps others could suggest some sources.

Somehow I don't think sitting home alone taking a class online would fulfill the social interaction goal I think many retirees who return to school are seeking. I mean, you can sit home alone and view You Tube all day long (without enrolling in formal classes); the Internet is one big university.
