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. 💪🏾

Throwing a party for the one-year anniversary of the State College "FRONT RUNNERS" group was great fun as a young man. Now, as a senior, I can happily live without parties. 1995. #hermit #hermits #hermitting #oldfart #oldcoot #oldgeezer #senior #seniors #curmudgeon #curmudgeons #grump #grumps #grumpy #grumpier #anniversary #running #aerobic #aerobicexercise #runner #runners #jog #jogging #joggers #gladiola #gladiolas #party #parties #entertainment #entertaining #guest #guests

ILWR HELPS RESIDENTS BE IN CHARGE OF THEIR OWN CARE
Independent Living Waterloo Region (ILWR) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating choices and support for people with disabilities.
Their mission is to champion independent living through self-directed services and programs.
The organization was founded in 1982, originally named Independent Living Centre of Waterloo Region.
Founder Henry Enns, a social worker and wheelchair user, focused on self-direction and accessibility, elements that remain at the organization’s core today.
“We want their family to remain their family, not their caretakers. So, this program gives that back to a lot of people,” Robyn Jackson, Direct Funding Resource Coordinator for ILWR, said.
Through the attendant outreach program, ILWR helps adults with physical disabilities in their home, school or workplace.
These services include non-medical personal support, essential homemaking tasks, safety checks and medication reminders.
“We evaluate what sort of level of need they have, what sort of budget they’re looking to request and, as well, we test their knowledge of employment standards and how to be an employer,” Jackson said.
Some eligibility requirements for the assisted living program include that people need to be insured under OHIP, have a valid OHIP card, be 16 years of age or older and have a permanent physical disability that requires physical assistance with activities of daily living.
“I have two children. They’re both young adults, but my wife and I felt that direct funding provided me with more flexibility and more freedom to be able to fit my personal care needs,” Dan Lajoie, Manager of Independent Living Resources and a self-manager with ILWR, said.
The number of residents aged 65 to 69 rose from 23,000 to 31,000 between 2014 and 2024, which is a 28 per cent growth. This indicates a critical need for mobility, care and adaptation of public facilities.
“The traditional service model would see somebody accessing services through an agency where they might not necessarily get to choose who comes into their home. Being on this program gives that power back to the individual,” Jackson said.
ILWR focuses on personal support services. Professionals assist with essential housekeeping that fits around a client’s personal care.
Unlike other programs, there are no maximum hours. Hours are based on identified personal care needs and budgetary capacity.
“I find it very rewarding to do this type of work. We see a lot of folks coming in that maybe don’t have any care at all in place. Maybe their disability is new to them and they’re sort of navigating all those pieces, and I get to help them put this program in place,” Jackson said.
Another program available to ILWR clients is assisted living. Attendants are trained to assist with personal care activities. A service plan will be created between the client and an ILWR staff member, which includes assistance with controlled acts and complex needs.
“I would say that it’s a great program for anyone who can manage it. It allows freedom of choice and scheduling within your own life,” Lajoie said.

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to voteBy Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."Read more:

I just finished streaming the #movie #Thelma (2024) which was named the the best #InterGenerationalFilm by the #AARP during it's #MoviesForGrownUps award show that just aired last night.
#JuneSquibb who plays the lead was nominated for #BestMovieActress but lost to #DemiMoore in #Substance who won that award.
The movie is about a #Senior #Woman who gets scammed on the #Net & takes it's upon herself to get her $ back. There was a gun involved but think of it as the #Beekeeper without any killing. LOL! 😉
It's a delightful movie which portrays the #elderly in a truthful but respectful & amusing light & also speaks to the #intergenerational #wisdom & support that #seniors can provide to the young.
Here's a link to #Wiki's webpage regarding the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelma_(2024_film)
I'd rate it an 8 out of 10 & just placed an order for the #DVD.
Watch it if & where you can.

Massachusetts official diverted taxpayer funds intended for seniors for music studio recordings, 153 pounds of steak, framed portrait

Forgive me for being Devil's Advocate for a moment...
The major difference between these cases is whether a given #public #service benefits the public as a whole (not "each individual separately, but all of them") or if they benefit the #individual(s).
Military or police spending? That's benefiting #society as a whole - you can't really say "Hey, Fred used a whole lot of police last year and cost me $X" (though some people try). It's even dafter in the military case.
But the post office ... well, if Fred sells and sends out 10,000 #tchotchkes at public #expense, he individually is solely benefiting from that, and the rest of us are picking up the tab. Or if some fundamentalist religious group decides to send "Chick tracts" to every household in Canada, should the #taxpayer really be picking up the #millions of dollars that those bible-thumpers cost everyone?
It's a tricky issue; there is no good solution.
But it pisses me off that they still aren't doing the *obvious* stuff to save money. For many years it's been bloody #obvious that eliminating legacy home delivery, installing community mailboxes for those just like every house built since the mid-80s, would save huge amounts of money.
And they still haven't done it, because the #politicians are afraid it'll cost them a few #seniors' votes.
