Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Congress should enact the Older Americans Bill of Rights to establish that older Americans should have the right to live with dignity and with independence.
HRES 465 is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for Congress to enact the Older Americans Bill of Rights. It calls for future legislation establishing specific rights for older Americans, including access to dignified healthcare (like affordable prescriptions and caregiver support), financial security (such as strengthened Social Security), and community participation (like accessible housing and voting). The resolution itself does not create new laws but urges Congress to draft such a bill. It directly addresses older Americans, particularly those facing poverty, health disparities, or isolation, based on cited statistics about their challenges.
