aging. if we were to create a checklist for healthy aging, what would it include? are proven choices that one can make to maximize health and well-being. while genetics determine about 20% of longevity, lifestyle, and environment the other 80%. staying physically active, eating well, conversing with friends, reading and engaging with books, doing something meaningful every day, and taking proactive steps to improving wellness, all contribute to healthy aging. physical,e know social, and cognitive engagement is good for you. few people realize that it remains critical at every lifestage. especially in older adulthood. even for those who face multiple chronic conditions and frailty, proactive actions can reverse this course and lead to a healthier future. that can be difficult in states like mine which are very rura and where people may feel isolated from one another. i would like to share with you the story of sandy a healthy 80-year-old woman. one winter morning she stepped outside to take h

that notice goes out at age 60 at age 61, at age 62. it's certainly a message bears repeating and we certainly repeat it. that is a primary way that we communicate to individuals who are not receiving social security benefits that they need to sign up for medicare at 65. it's more important to talk about some things that we are working on and literally just three weeks ago i sat down along with my counterparts from social security from communications, the folks that run our 800 number across the table with the folks from cms. we think there are great opportunities for strengthening the partnership between the agency to prevent unnecessary handoffs and two increasingly serve the public at the first of contact. >> i appreciate that i'm over my time. i will just wrap up with this. the point that's been made here about making all of those efforts but there's that there's a gap because of lack of broadband access and high-speed internet. that's one of the many reasons why we have to get to an infrastructure bill or something that would focus

>> mister speaker, the age of 18 rather than 16 is recognized as the age at which one becomes an adult, when full citizenship rights are attained. only handful of countries in the world have a nationwide voting age below 18 and we believe it is right at the age of majority, 18, should be the age at which people become eligible to vote. >> the honorable gentlemen makes comparisons but this country and the labor government led the way in europe and the english-speaking world reducing the voting age in 1969 and where we lived, others followed and it will be the same here. let me move to a second question for the honorable gentlemen. i did not hear a logical explanation, 16-year-olds in this country. at 16, we could leave home, we can pay taxes, join forces and can the minister give us a logical explanation why 16-year-old should not have the right to vote? >> i have to say slightly baffled by the honorable ladies comment, what the party did in office, was the last labor government that raised the legal age for buying cigarettes to 18, raised the age to 18 and using a sunbed to 18. i think

so, the gilded age, its end is also debatable. we can say 1920, 1930, but i think one of the stakes in the was the the gilded age imposition of an income which radically changed the way that and, all ofould live a sudden, a part of their wealth was going to government. that then prevented them from pl oughing a lot of their wealth into houses like this and also the maintenance of houses. and i think world war i change the complexion of this country and change the complexion of newport. and then after world war i, people were living different lifestyles. and so, trying to find the kind of, the numbers of staff people that were needed to manage a house like this became different. women were going into the workforce. so for a lot of different reasons, the gilded age began to dwindle down. but it really started in the came to aand then final conclusion in the 1920's and 1930's. although, some newport to lived dosages manage in the gilded age style until the early 1960's. and one of them was julia bu erwin who owned the elms. she conti

rediscover the value of seniors taking care of aging adults. i asked for the hearing and i thought it was going to be the only hearing on this issue and i guess the last meeting had a subdivision of this. and i realize earlier on that there was probably just these issues at every level, we're losing ground in san francisco. we're losing ground and we can't just do nothing. when i started asking questions about these issues, many people thought there -- this is like a familiar discussion. a little over two years ago talking about housing and much of the discussion -- i didn't hear anybody talk about family housing, affordable housing or market rate and people thought, even city planning thought it was a little crazy asking for a report. and i talked to developers, why don't we build for families, and it was an eye-opener. the developers basically said we're not building it because the leadership here tells us that we don't need any in san francisco. that didn't make sense to me. fast forward, i think we have gained some momentum around that issu

one of the things they took on is aging. we know that ageism is rampant in your society and they kind of wanted to look at what people would respond to with respect to aging. how do we reframe the conversation around aging, so that people care about it differently. this is a database approach to reframing the conversation about aging in the united states. and so we thought it would be a really good thing to do in san francisco and we're having a big event january 23rd, the library, from 2:30 to 4:00. i hope all of you can there. this will be a level setting conversation, where we can all come to the conversation from the same framework. the second day, we're going to have workshop by invite only, because we have limited capacity. that is 35-40 people meeting at meta fund all day to figure out, how do we carry the conversation farther? what should we do as a city? i think it's a real opportunity. i want to say that one thing that is great is people who are communications experts be there. so we're asking the nonprofit partner

this is mainly area agency on aging federal money. so under the older americans act, there are a set of programs that in this county or this city are administered through the office of aging. the city of san francisco has added a great deal of local money to sort of the standard list of older americans act programs, but those older american act programs exist in every county. and every county gets allocation for there is a pot of money we call general fund aid. that is money that funds the ihhsmoe. i'll come back to that later. there is general fund operating money which is fund staff and professional services within the department and then there is what is called work order recovery and the term work order recovery in san francisco means money that is paid to an agency. in this case daas or hsa, by another agency. in this case the department of public health. and this amount represents the historical general fund share of the ihss benefit program. one of the things that we do, just to sort of take a side step about the ihss program,
