Create a singlepayer health care system for minnesota. seniors need to feel safein their homes and Policies and programs that emphasize prevention of crime
http://www.e-democracy.org/1994/GOV_BY_CAND/MARTY-DFL/Seniors.pp.html

Extractions: John Marty knows that Minnesota's senior citizens want to be independent and productive members of society. But in order to live with dignity they must have access to quality health care =98 including long term care, feel safe in their communities, have adequate financial security, a fair tax system based on their ability to pay, and safe, affordable housing and transportation. As Governor, John would: Create a single-payer health care system for Minnesota. John Marty believes that nobody, especially an older person living on a fixed income, should have to decide between necessary medical care and buying food. Only a single-payer system of health care reform meets all the following requirements: Affordable and universal, allowing all seniors to be covered without having to worry about private Medigap insurance premiums, co-payments and deductibles.
Wynia - Seniors
public transportation is needed, as are programs utilizing the to listen to and workfor seniors as a electronically by the nonpartisan minnesota E-DEMOCRACY
http://www.e-democracy.org/1994/SEN_BY_CAND/WYNIA-DFL/Wynia_Seniors.pp.html

Extractions: America's population is aging. Ann Wynia believes we need public policies that enhance the economic security of seniors and their ability to live independent, productive lives in their communities. The senior population is an important resource for this country and we need policies that recognize and draw upon the enormous talents seniors can contribute to the community at large. Public policies should empower seniors to make their own choices with regard to living arrangements and should provide greater access to home- and community-based care alternatives. Seniors living in greater Minnesota sometimes face additional challenges because of the absence of public transportation and accessible medical services. Public policies must take these geographic differences into account. As Commissioner of Human Services, Ann Wynia participated in public hearings all across Minnesota to listen directly to seniors and learn their concerns. Under her leadership, the Department of Human Services developed the Seniors Agenda for Independent Living, a set of recommendations for state lawmakers designed to improve the ability of seniors to live as independently as possible. As a state legislator, Ann Wynia worked to enact legislation that:

MPR: Changes In Minnesota Senior Care Cuts Some Out Of Services
The Department of Human Services recently asked minnesota counties totrack what happens to seniors on the alternative care program.
http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2003/11/11_gundersond_seniorliens

Extractions: Last year Minnesota spent $65 million on a program to help senior citizens stay in their homes. To recover some of that money, a new law requires seniors who own a home to sign a lien agreement. That means the state gets paid back when the home is sold. But some elderly are refusing to sign the lien agreement, instead opting out of the alternative care program. Caregivers say that is putting some seniors at risk.
