😟Older NYers are feeling the squeeze 😟 📈 17% have cut back on medical expenses, including prescription meds, as utility bills rise 🏠 Home and long term care costs up 50% in just 5 years #Affordability is a top concern for older New Yorkers.

Great plans don’t age well w/o funding🤔 Investing more in older NYers & fully implementing the Master Plan for Aging makes sense. @bethny: For every $15 million that is put into the Office for the Aging budget, it generates $50 million in savings to the Medicaid program. (1/6)
