Assessing the implications of the 1994 elections for aging policy

Article Abstract:

The 1994 Congressional midterm elections are likely to influence the involvement of aging interest groups in the making of policy at the national and state levels. Partisan realignments and a stress on less government, particularly at the federal level, will affect federal policies on aging. Congressional attempts to balance and cut the budget might create problems for the interest groups representing the aged in carrying out their programs. An emphasis on an inexpensive government calls for an assessment of past strategies to tackle the problems of the aged.

Article Abstract:

An examination of the recent trends in decentralization and their implications for aging policy in the Clinton administration shows that a dual-centered, shared federal-state solution may be the best approach to aging policy care. Greater flexibility for the states and local governments in delivering social services is necessary for the success of long-term care system.
