Northern Nevada residents will avoid a 175 percent increase in their energy provider’s service fee, thanks to work by AARP Nevada and other consumer protection groups.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
Today, a secure retirement is out of reach for half of Nevada’s 593,000 private sector workforce, especially those who work for themselves or small businesses. More than 296,000 Nevada workers do not have a way to save for retirement through their job, leaving them unprepared to support themselves in the future and more likely to have Social Security as their only source of retirement income.
AARP volunteers delivered more than 36,000 petition signatures to Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen demanding the Senate act to allow Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices.
