Tell Congress: Save OAA Programs and Stop Cuts to Medicaid
With a flurry of action in Washington impacting Older Americans Act (OAA) and Medicaid, we want to highlight some of our most important advocacy efforts in case you haven't yet taken action!
Click here to urge your lawmakers to oppose cuts to Medicaid HCBS in the coming Republican reconciliation bill. Next week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will markup its part of the Republican reconciliation bill that proposes to cut Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars. These massive cuts put older adults and people with disabilities at risk of losing coverage for critical HCBS.
Our other top priority is the proposed reorganization of ACL, which threatens to break apart OAA programs and potentially eliminate several key OAA programs, including the Title III D evidence-based programs and Title VII's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Click here to write to your lawmakers urging them to ensure the AAA stays together under the Administration for Children and Families so your agency can continue to efficiently deliver services to older adults!
