In what may be a glimmer of hope for older Americans, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a reauthorization of the Older Americans Act. The bill will still have to pass the House and receive the President’s signature. Please ask your representative to vote YES on this important piece of legislation.

We believe that Medicare is the Cornerstone of Senior Care. On July 30, 1965, Pres. Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Act into law. Now, these programs form the foundation of our healthcare. They support people in urban centers and form a connection to rural communities. #medicare #medicaid

Social Security can never go broke as long as Americans are working. The Trust, which is a cushion to ensure full benefit payments, can fall short, however. This won’t happen if Congress takes action.
