I’ve got a bad feeling about Senate Bill 3562 introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on September 19. Like me, you may have missed the birth S 3526, which was introduced to “reauthorize and improve the Older Americans Act of 1965, and for other purposes.” I have been slightly preoccupied with the Detroit Tigers and Derek Jeter’s busted ankle. Besides, who could possibly oppose a bill to reauthorize the improve the Older American’s Act of 1965, which created the Administration on Aging and all kinds of entitlement programs for the elderly? I began wondering, too, about the phrase “and for other purposes.” What does THAT mean? So, I read the proposed bill and noticed that when it comes to funding mental health programs for the elderly, someone had decided to preface all services for seniors – including mental health services - with the phrase “evidence-based.”I’ve got a bad feeling about Senate Bill 3562 introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on September 19.
