Seniors
Information regarding my stance on Seniors' issues.
"Many seniors remain isolated, leading to dramatic increases in the demand for services and creating concern among providers who report they may soon run out of initial COVID relief funding," Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), who chairs the House subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Older Americans Act, said in an emailed statement.
WASHINGTON, DC – House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA), Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden (D-OR), Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), today offered a bill to protect seniors across the country by reauthorizing and funding the Elder Justice Act.
But, as with its prior iterations, getting the bill passed might not be easy.
"The short answer is that it is very hard to get anything passed," Saxon wrote. "It takes a lot of time and effort, particularly when there are other things in Washington, like the pandemic, to deal with."
The bill is co-sponsored by Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and there is a companion House bill co-sponsored by Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., and Jim Banks, R-Ind.
