URGENT: PROTECT FEDERAL AGING, DISABILITY, & CAREGIVER PROGRAMS
The Trump Administration and DOGE just proposed the so-called “Make American Healthy Again” (MAHA) plan that would make it even more difficult for people to age in their homes and communities by dismantling the federal agency focused on aging and disability. This could have disastrous implications for older people, people of all ages who live with disabilities, family caregivers, and the programs upon which they rely.
We’re pushing back and we need your help.
Older people overwhelmingly prefer to age at home and receive care from a family member. The federal agency focused on aging and disability has been the primary voice within the government advocating to make this a possibility for all of us by supporting programs like home-delivered meals, adult day programs, caregiver respite, elder abuse & response services, transportation to medical care, free legal aid, and beyond. Programs that allow aging-in-place are not only popular, but cost-effective in reducing taxpayer spending on expensive institutional long-term care. Dismantling this agency would not only harm older people, family caregivers, and people with disabilities, but it would also cost taxpayers and put additional pressure on our already-strained healthcare system.
We want to ensure that support for older people is coordinated, streamlined, and prioritized across the federal government, so that everyone can get the support they need in their preferred environment. Dismantling this agency could ultimately lead to less efficiency and less coordination.
This is why we need you.
We’re asking everyone to call and email your Members of Congress and ask that they speak out against this potentially catastrophic plan. Critical supports for older people, people with disabilities, and family caregivers are on the line and we must do everything in our power to preserve these programs.
Complete the form to email or call your Members of Congress to ask them to speak out against MAHA and this unconscionable proposal.
