The latest budget request from the administration asks for deep cuts to aging programs that millions of older adults and their families rely on for managing chronic conditions, preventing falls, re-entering the workforce, and much more. In Congress, the push to find trillions in savings has resulted in proposed cuts to Medicaid and programs that help people afford Medicare. As more Americans are living longer than ever before, the need for aging services has grown dramatically. Thousands are turning 65 every day. That’s why it’s so concerning that the future of federal programs that keep older Americans independent and healthy is at risk. If these proposed cuts become reality, older adults and their families will not have reliable alternatives to fall back on. That’s why we’re working hard with you by our side to educate the public and lawmakers alike about why these programs matter. It’s core to our mission of improving the lives of older adults and we can't do it without you.
Older adults are counting on us to act in this moment. Can we count on you to take the next step and make NCOA your charity of choice? |
