On November 15th, LeadingAge issued an action alert urging Congress not to adjourn its session without enacting key services and supports for older adults. “In the remaining weeks of 2022, Congress must not leave key supports and services for older adults unfinished. Severe shortages in the aging services workforce and affordable senior housing, coupled with inefficient and burdensome Medicare Advantage (MA) prior authorization processes that often result in inappropriate care denials, mean that older adults do not have access to needed services and supports. Congress can and must take action to address these crises before it adjourns,” the alert says. Read and take action on this alert here.
