[Jennifer Ludden @JenniferLudden]

Baby boomers are entering older age amid a historic affordable housing shortage and widening inequality. A new study from @Harvard_JCHS warns many won't be able to access the kind of housing or caregiving they need. https://t.co/5jaKgFnv70

Older adults face a dual burden of housing and care. We will discuss solutions!

[Harvard JCHS @Harvard_JCHS]

Thursday @ 4pm ET: As the population ages, more older adults will struggle to afford housing and/or care. More funding is needed, but there is tremendous need for creative alternatives to models of care and housing to support the rapidly aging population.

Wouldn't we rather invest resources to find eligible/not yet enrolled beneficiaries?

[Joan Alker @JoanAlker1]

😱Ohio's Medicaid Oversight Ctte newsletter: State has hired a consultant (PCG) and is paying them up to $35 million based on state savings from kicking "likely ineligible" people off Medicaid once the PHE lifts

PCG gets more per head for more expensive people ie seniors/PWD's

Excited to talk tomorrow about relationships between housing cost and older adult health spending

[Harvard JCHS @Harvard_JCHS]

TOMORROW @ 1:15 pm ET: A growing number of older homeowners are still paying off mortgages. Does this financial responsibility cause them to spend less on healthcare needs?
