Our vision for the future describes a caring model different from the current long-term care reality and one much different from what is likely to evolve without a shared vision and aggressive public action. This vision is founded upon the possible and on Minnesota's ground-breaking thinking about new ways of combining housing and services to provide consumer and community-tailored options. It is not an unworkable wish list. We are confident our vision represents what can be developed through effective leadership and hard work. The vision, fashioned by a diverse group of long-term care providers during the past several months, should be viewed as the

Medicare Buy-In Programs Families USA has released a report which indicated that between 303 and 309 million low income seniors and disabled individuals who receive social security benefits are not receiving all the benefits they are entitled to. Here in Minnesota the organization estimates there are between 36,000 and 46,000 low income seniors and people with disabilities who may be affected. Each month, the Social Security Administration deducts the cost of Medicare premiums from recipients' social security checks, but many low income seniors and people with disabilities are eligible to have their Medicare premiums paid by federal programs enacted by Congress. This deduction is currently $50.00 per month, or $600.00 annually for single people. For couples, the cost is $1,200.00 annually. There are several federal programs to help low income seniors and disabled individuals pay for their medical costs, called Medicare Buy-In programs. These programs were designed to protect low income beneficiaries from the extreme hardships created by Medicare cost-sharing requirements. Under these programs, the federal government provides financial assistance to help defray the costs for certain health-care expenses. Each of these programs has a standard $20 income disregard (included in amounts given). Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMB's) are seniors and people with disabilities who receive social security benefits, and have an annual income at or below the poverty level (currently $8,832 annually, or $736 per month for single people; $11,856 annually, or $988 per month for couples). People in this category are eligible for financial assistance covering their Medicare premiums, deductibles, and co-payments.

News Home News Archive Minnesota Group's Seniors Get Canada-Sized Discounts on Prescription Drugs Saint Paul Pioneer Press, Minn. Tom Majeski January 22, 2003 Jan. 22In July, 73-year-old Gladys Aalgaard of Burnsville enrolled in a pilot prescription drug program that cut her drug bills by a whopping 66 percent. Now the annual cost for the two medications she buys from a Canadian company is $492, compared to the $1,467 she says she would have paid at a Twin Cities pharmacy. "It's working just fine," Aalgaard said of the program. "This is a much better deal. I would much rather use that money for other things." The first-of-its-kind program, developed by the Minnesota Senior Federation and made available to members Tuesday, involves ordering drugs at a steep discount from a drug exporting company called CanadaRx. Patients still obtain the prescriptions from their own doctors. But instead of being filled at the corner drug store, prescriptions are faxed to the Toronto-based company, which verifies the order within 72 hours and ships the medications directly to patients. Similar programs also are being launched in Wisconsin and Indiana.

Back to Main News Archives Page MCF NEWS ARCHIVES April 2002 Southwest Minnesota Foundation, Schwan's Partner to Benefit Seniors The Southwest Minnesota Foundation , Hutchinson, has received a gift from Schwan's Sales Enterprises, Marshall, to expand the foundation's Parish Nurse Program and provide increased opportunities for seniors in southwest Minnesota through its Paul and Alma Schwan Aging Trust Fund. The contribution marks an 11-year partnership between Schwan's and the foundation, in which the two organizations have created a significant and permanent resource for southwest Minnesota to support the social and economic contributions of seniors by keeping them well and engaged in community life and developing senior-friendly communities. A parish nurse is a registered nurse who is able to assess all the dimensions of a person's health including the physical, psychosocial and spiritual. Through the Paul and Alma Schwan Aging Trust Fund, the foundation has funded 18 parish nurse programs totaling $150,000 in the communities of Marshall, Belview, Redwood Falls, Hutchinson, Willmar, Appleton and Luverne since the first projects were piloted in 1996. The foundation's vision is to have parish nurse programs operating throughout the 18 counties of southwest Minnesota to promote wellness and participation of all community members and integrate the compatible missions of the church and the community.
