I cannot escape the Master Plan on Aging! I drive up to the beautiful Heaven Hill Farm on Lake Placid for a Caregiving Working Group Meeting of the North Country and who is the first presenter? It’s MPA Co-Chair and Health Foundation of Western & Central New York President Nora O’Brien-Suric

Insurance premiums could rise by $1,291 annually on average for those on individual market health plans in New York State.

Until July 2nd consumers can tell the State how more expensive premiums would impact them or people they know. Submit a comment here: hcfany.org/tell-new-yor....

Fight fraud! Shred your important documents then contact your state legislators about cracking down on another type of fraud.

📢it is unacceptable that thousands of older Americans are left waiting 2+ hours on the phone to reach Social Security (SSA) and SSA’s website crashed 5 times alone just in March.

NYS Legislature must increase funding for in-home services for older NYers - 1000s stuck on waitlists - & boost elder financial fraud protections supported by 88% of NYers age 45+, #AARPNY's Maggie Castro said at #SOMOS New York Conference. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social

.#AARPNY is at the NYS Legislative Puerto Rican & Hispanic Task Forces' annual SOMOS Conference in Albany urging state lawmakers to end NY's long waiting lists for in-home services that allow older New Yorkers to age with dignity in their own homes. Not attending? Take action here: aarp.info/NYcare

.#AARPNY thanks Assemblymember @kwani-opharrow.bsky.social for meeting with Babylon area volunteers to discuss AARP's state budget priorities (ending waiting lists for home and community based care and more protections against senior financial exploitation), Rx importation & complete streets.

Last Week, #AARPNY's Bruce A Boissonnault joined others in thanking State Senator Sean Ryan for proposing a common-sense affordable housing package. When more affordable housing options are created, it keeps older persons living in the community and out of expensive taxpayer-funded nursing homes.

Today, I spoke about the need for NYS to better support family caregivers during the NYS Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, & Asian Legislative Caucus Weekend. I thanked Senate Aging Committee Chair Cordell Cleare for her advocacy & met new Assemblyman and Assembly Aging Committee MenberJordan Wright.

Sharing one of my favorite #Lincoln quotes - simple straight and forward - on his 216th birthday.

Today #AARPNY joined with other advocates for older New Yorkers to urge the Governor & state legislators to fully fund vital home- and community-based care programs and services that allow older middle class New Yorkers to stay in their homes. Currently there are over 16K requests gone unfulfilled

This morning @nysenate.bsky.social Finance Chair @lizkrueger.bsky.social spoke about her sponsorship of the Fair Pricing Act, S.705 to protect New Yorkers from being charged excessive prices for routine healthcare services. #AARPNY supports the bill and thanks her for her leadership.

NYS Assembly Transportation Cmte OKs A.1077 & A.324, which will improve the safety of pedestrians & all road users by expanding the Complete Streets Design Law. NY deserves safe streets. Thanks @JonRivera149 & @DidiBarrett106 for moving bills. #CompleteStreets #PedestrianSafety

Thank you to Representative Malliotakis for meeting with @aarpny.bsky.social volunteers and staff about the Credit for Caring Act which would provide a federal tax credit to family caregivers.

Today #AARPNY thanked @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social for including an additional $45 million in her budget proposal for home- and community-based services that enable older New Yorkers to remain in their own homes & communities. Thousands are stuck on waiting lists for these in-home services.

This 12 year old posted showed up in my Facebook memories. It is a sober reminder of how long these vital services for older New Yorkers have been underfunded and how important that fight for ending waiting lists for aging services must continue Call Governor Hochul to @day at 866-647-1217
