Today, we mark 60 years of the Older Americans Act.
Older Americans have earned the right to retire with dignity and respect, and deserve high-quality health care.
We can’t recognize today’s anniversary without acknowledging that just days ago, the GOP voted to slash health care for 17 million Americans, including seniors, to give tax cuts to billionaires.
I'm grateful to groups like @AgeOptions, who continue to stand strong in this fight and serve older Americans on the frontlines in our communities.
