I'm chairing a @SenateAging Committee hearing on Housing Accessibility and Affordability for Older Adults and People with Disabilities. Tune in: https://t.co/5p9K5xX1Pz

[Alison Hernandez PhD-RN @alisonPhDRN]

Honored to get to work on housing issues for older adults and people with disabilities.

The VITAL Act has been 15 months in the making… proud of Chairman Casey and @SenateAging 🎉

[Bob Casey @SenBobCasey]

Too many older adults & people with disabilities can't find safe and accessible housing. That’s why I'm introducing the VITAL Act to ensure we ramp up accessible housing development to meet the need of these communities. 🏘️

😮 once a voter more likely always a voter #vote

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

BREAKING: Gen Z and young Millennials under 30 voted at such a high level and skewed for Dems so much we canceled out every voter over age 65 across the US house races.

Here in PA, We Take Care Of Our Own — which is why I need you to #GOTV for the 22 (Taylor's Version) midterms. Polls are open until 8PM (10PM in Luzerne County)

It's going to be a long night watching results come in, so I made an #ElectionNight playlist to help get you through.

[Alison Hernandez PhD-RN @alisonPhDRN]

@MonaShattell @artayyeb @AAN_Nursing @DePaulU Right back at you!! What a treat 🤩

What Mehmet Oz means when he says abortion should be between "a woman, her doctor, and local political leaders." #PASenateDebate

Thx @amyschumer

@marionleary @learyjen You got this!

[Alison Hernandez PhD-RN @alisonPhDRN]

@YourNurseLawyer I would also connect with
@nurses_america they are supporting a lot nurse candidates that are running for congress.

[Alison Hernandez PhD-RN @alisonPhDRN]

@Katherine_Maki1 @YourNurseLawyer @PaulPaterRN is very involved politically and knows a lot of Illinois ones

[Alison Hernandez PhD-RN @alisonPhDRN]

@Dr_Paulevj Yes. Preach. Identifying as white and Latino creates a lot of similar Qs 😒

“Aging is a natural thing,” @Sethrogen said. “You shouldn’t have to be rich to navigate it.” https://t.co/CPfDpLvL0p

[Bob Casey @SenBobCasey]

I joined @Sethrogen, @IamLaurenMiller, @sarahgrafferty & @aijenpoo this morning to discuss the state of home care in the United States and the need for a generational investment in that care. Seniors and people with disabilities deserve to live independently in their communities.

[Alison Hernandez PhD-RN @alisonPhDRN]

ABLE allows ppl with disabilities to save money beyond the 2k cap. It helps ppl plan for the future & save for: 🏡, education, health, 🚗, assistive technology & more.

In a country like USA nobody with a disability should be forced to live in poverty & fear building wealth.

[Senate Aging Committee @SenateAgingDems]

Today, Chairman @SenBobCasey held a hearing in Pittsburgh to examine ABLE savings accounts for people with disabilities. https://t.co/sPQUbGMD8f

Senate is about to Senate so hard

[Bob Casey @SenBobCasey]

The Inflation Reduction Act will allow Medicare to negotiate the price of drugs and cap out-of-pocket expenses at $2,000 a year.

It's a game-changer for seniors.
