Help Bring the Vote Home for Our Seniors

Every election season, it is important for Americans to exercise their right vote. However, for some Americans, this can be a challenge.

The 3.5 million seniors and individuals with disabilities served by the Medicare home health benefit are considered homebound, and therefore cannot travel to polling locations.

This November, it is especially important for Medicare’s poorest, sickest, and most vulnerable patients to make their voice heard. Recently, Medicare slated the home health benefit to be cut by 14 percent over the next 4 years, placing at risk millions of patients and hard working professionals as well as thousands of American small businesses.

While many of our patients cannot vote in person, we can help them get to the polls by bringing the vote home. The video below highlights an initiative that gives patients, caregivers, advocates, and clinicians the tools to register, obtain absentee ballots, and submit ballots from home!
