CMS is ending the Medicare Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration on December 31. The program paid a monthly subsidy toward standalone drug plan premiums, $15 per member in 2025 and $10 in 2026, and capped how far those premiums could rise year over year. Without it, the increases land in 2027 plan pricing.
National Campaign for Justice has a letter to Congress asking them to preserve it.

Today I had the honor of being recognized as one of the MVES Community All-Stars ⭐️ for the City of Malden during the Mystic Valley Elder Services 50th Anniversary celebration. I actually learned about this right before leaving for my humanitarian volunteer trip to Ukraine.
🙏🏽I’m beyond humbled and grateful. Community service, whether at home or abroad, has shaped who I am.
To MVES, Lisa Felci Jimenez, and the entire team: thank you for 50 years of advocating for older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers across our communities. It’s a privilege to be even a small part of that mission. 💪🏾

🇨🇦 🧓 😡 This I know is a fact!👇
"Inappropriate use of antipsychotics can carry serious risks, including adverse reactions, cognitive decline, falls and even death,”
👉 #ElderAbuse
"Advocates say these issues persist and are expected to worsen as demand exceeds capacity with an aging population. By 2030, Statistics Canada says more than one in five Canadians will be 65 or older." -
How pets healed us this year – The Washington Post
In Your Own WordsEach week, we highlight a comment from our readers. This week, my favorite comment was on a story I wrote about how pets healed us this year.
“ My beautiful mom and greyhound died last year 3 weeks apart in the fall, both tragically and unexpectedly. This past July, I adopted a 6 month old pup from a local shelter. She returned pure joy to my broken heart. Her shelter name was Poppy. I thought about changing it then looked it up. It means “remembrance.” She is so smart, so affectionate, so playful. I like to think that my mom and grey had a hand and paw in the two of us coming into each other’s lives. – TarheelHeart – https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2025/12/26/pets-healed-us- 2025/?commentID=69da2a76-3def-483b-94d9- 90793784b4e3&utm_campaign=comment-share&utm_medium=soc- share&utm_source=link-share Kynlee Rogers, 10, with her dog, Tennessee.

They give our lives deeper meaning and make us laugh. Here’s how pets helped get us through 2025.
By Sydney Page
If you have a pet, you know their healing properties. If you don’t, there’s well-documented science to back it up. Even just a few minutes with a dog or cat can make someone happier and less stressed.
So with that in mind, here are some animals that boosted our mood this year, made us laugh and feel less lonely, and even saved some lives. Basically, they helped us get through 2025.
They improved our mental health
Norm Feigenbaum, a 93-year-old Los Angeles man, described his yellow Lab, Sunny, as his best friend. When Sunny went missing for nearly two weeks, Norm felt anxious, had sleepless nights and said he felt a profound sense of emptiness. Volunteers worked tirelessly to reunite them, and when they did, Norm’s emotional state steadied.
“Without her, there’s nothing,” Norm said.

“Tennee is just like her,” said Kynlee’s mother, Kimberly Rogers, adding that they happen to share the same birthday, June 4. “It just gives her something she can relate to. She’s not alone.”
They gave us many laughs
Some pets have big personalities. Ray Ray, a mischievous house cat from Pennsylvania, turned a family road trip into an adventure when he hitched a 100-mile ride on the roof of his family’s van before anyone noticed he was there. He ended up getting a New York City vacation out of it, though his family toted him around in a cat backpack and on a leash for safety.

Lamps, reading glasses, picture frames, purses, even plates — nothing is safe. Duke parades his treasures around proudly in his mouth, before guarding the items on his bed. He keeps his owner — and thousands of followers — amused with his mischief every day.

Faygo, a friendly goldendoodle from Virginia, was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year. Knowing how much Faygo loved getting attention from people, his owners asked neighbors to stop by and give Faygo a pet. Dozens of people visited to offer Faygo comfort, treats and affection in his final days. Through Faygo, a community came together for a dog they barely knew.

Dogs have been known to alert people to perilous situations and even detect health issues or medical emergencies. Earlier this year, a shelter dog at an adoption event alerted a man that he was about to have a seizure, prompting his wife to take her husband home and give him his meds. She said the pooch’s instinct helped her husband avoid a dangerous seizure.
Another standout pooch this year is Freyja, a certified search-and-rescue dog in New Hampshire. When a 2-year-old girl went missing in the woods, Freyja and her handler spent nearly five hours navigating the dense, cold forest. Using her keen senses, Freyja tracked down the child, who was returned to her parents. Authorities noted that without Freyja’s tracking skills, the outcome could have been very different.

Beef, an English bulldog recovering from pneumonia, helped his owner’s father, Manny Miranda, stay motivated to exercise. Their slow, short daily walks became a shared fitness journey, and beloved on social media.
Beef stopped going on many walks after a bout of pneumonia. But it turned out he was willing to get moving if Manny, 78, was with him. (America Miranda)Courtney Proctor Cross transformed a struggling West Virginia animal shelter that was euthanizing most of its animals into a nationally recognized no-kill shelter.

This headline made me do a double-take, until I realised it was #RoadSafety Great Britain rather than #RSGB (#radio society of Great #Britain) for #RadioAmateurs - TBH if any #hams *are* pulled up for #DUI (unless they are prog-rock loving #hippies who still indulge now and then , which isn't that uncommon round here, quite a few #seniors been nicked recently) its more likely to be happen due to #drugs they got prescribed legally for age-related health conditions (usually #benzodiazepines and #opiates) than #partydrugs (beware - even a legal prescription is *not* a "get out of jail free" card, and an OM who ends up mounting the kerb trying to adjust his VFO whilst driving might well be swabbed / blood tested)
