Mid-Term Elections

As the hour draws near to when the doors will be open so we can do our civic duty and vote, there is one thing we ask--- Vote!

Many people may not want to vote because it’s “only” a mid-term election. But consider this--- you, with your vote, have the power to make the House and Senate change hands (or remain in the same hands---depending on your preference).

Now, you may ask… what does this have to do with caregiving, or healthy aging, or long term care? Well, a lot actually.

If there is a shift in power in the House and/or Senate, there might be new bills that are introduced. Back on October 20th, in our entry "It's about time!" we commented on a NY Times article regarding some major changes the Democrats are planning if they win control of Congress. Is this ambitious? Perhaps. But hey, it’s better than what we currently have going on (or not going on) now in our government.

Therefore, exercise your right to vote! You have the power to decide if this current administration will continue to go unchecked the next two years.
