LeadingAge is pleased to report that the PACE Plus Act, S. 1162, introduced earlier this year in the Senate by Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Senate Special Aging Chairman, will be introduced in the House by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) later this week. A fact sheet is available here and a section by section here is attached. This bill addresses a number of systemic barriers to growth, encouraging the expansion of existing programs and establishment of new ones, in addition to eliminating the financial barrier that Medicare-only PACE participants confront.
