The Trump administration is coming for your parents — and for all of us, since we all grow old, if we’re lucky. Old age is the one “out” group we’ll all be part of, a message that aging-focused funders have long tried to spread. So how are these funders responding to threats to Medicaid — such as through steep cuts to its budget just passed in the House, and a variety of food subsidies that older adults rely on — in order to fund a tax cut for billionaires? I called a few funders to see. In some ways, their responses reminded me of the attitude of people in L.A. who had just witnessed unprecedented wildfires burning their houses to smithereens: shock, disbelief and a recognition that life is no longer as safe as it once was.
