Congress just released the almost 2000 page  health bill to the public. Of course, many people won’t read it, but hopefully the readers of Caring For Mom and Dad will!! I will attempt to read this long piece of legislation but it’s only for the betterment of all. I want to see how much this is going to affect all of us, but especially if it’s going to have an impact on critically needed Medicare and Medicaid. Here is the link — enjoy!

Alzheimer’s Association to Release Report in California

An Alarming new report on the unexpectedly high number of Californians who will develop Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias during the next 20 years. This marks the first time we have gathered data using California’s unique demographics and been able to assess the impact of Alzheimer’s disease in California. This report contains information that is valuable to families living with Alzheimer’s disease, businesses, taxpayers and policy makers.

Take a moment to read the report when it is released on February 25. On that day, we will provide you with an opportunity to promote it to your legislators, giving them vital information on why they should support legislation impacting California families living with Alzheimer’s disease. It is critical the Legislature and Governor maintain funding for Alzheimer’s research and programs.
