The election of Donald Trump, along with continued Republican majorities in the House and Senate, will likely result in major cuts in federal programs that benefit older adults and younger people with disabilities.

Some of the programs that could be targeted: Medicaid, important reforms in the way health care is delivered through Medicare, and services funded through the Older Americans Act such as Meals on Wheels, adult day, information assistance. And while Trump vowed throughout his campaign to leave Social Security and Medicare untouched, congressional Republicans have targeted both programs and it is not clear whether the new president would resist their efforts to cut benefits.

# data[].attributes.body
The Older Americans Act has been under enormous budget pressure for a decade. Even under President Obama, funding for most of these programs was flat even though the number of older adults using benefits was growing. The result: waiting lists in some communities for programs such as Meals on Wheels.

WASHINGTON — President Trump plans to unveil on Tuesday a $4.1 trillion budget for 2018 that would cut deeply into programs for the poor, from health care and food stamps to student loans and disability payments, laying out an austere vision for reordering the nation’s priorities.

To compensate, the package contains deep cuts in entitlement programs that would hit hardest many of the economically strained voters who propelled the president into office. Over the next decade, it calls for slashing more than $800 billion from Medicaid, the federal health program for the poor, while slicing $192 billion from nutritional assistance and $272 billion over all from welfare programs.

Dozens of elderly people are living their final years here. Some are too poor to go elsewhere. Others have no children to care for them. But most have simply been abandoned by their families. In extremely poor communities, once they can no longer work, they're considered to be a burden. At 81, Neng Qing still runs the whole operation, travelling into villages to rescue elderly people who are dying from lack of care.There is little support for elderly people when they reach the end of their lives. In a recent "quality of death" survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit assessing end-of-life care offered in 80 countries around the world, China came in the bottom 10, due to its lack of hospice facilities, unaffordable hospital care and lack of community support. In the same survey, the UK ranked number one.

The LTC funding system is mixed, it's both from the national budget, social security and private payments. The extent of financial coverage relative to total LTC cost differs depending on whether the care is free for the user or restricted, as well as on the nature of the provider. In particular, the housing allowances for the elderly, as well as the supporting programmes for the disabled, have been funded from the national budget since 2005. The allowances’ adjustment is not dependent on a particular index, but on the discretion of the Ministers of Economy and Health & Social Solidarity, who decide the adjustment rate, based on purely political criteria.
