Testimony Of Mr. John Pribyl

Extractions: Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota House Education and the Workforce Committee Subcommittee on Select Education April 1, 2003 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: I appreciate this opportunity to submit testimony supporting the Citizen Service Act, reauthorizing the Corporation for National and Community Service. For todays hearing my remarks will focus on some specific innovations that we have worked on in Minnesota that I would suggest be considered by the Committee as you develop the Citizen Service Act. The three Senior Corps Programs, Foster Grandparent Program, Senior Companion Program and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program began during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Foster Grandparent Program was started in 1965 by President Johnson as one of the war on poverty programs. The poverty rate among seniors at that time was around 33%. One out of three retired people met the income eligibility requirements and were eligible to receive a stipend and volunteer as a Foster Grandparent. The program has developed a great reputation by providing volunteer opportunities for low income retired people to serve children. Soon after, RSVP was developed under President Nixon in 1971 and Senior Companions followed in 1974. These programs with Congress ongoing support expanded over the next 30 years to where we are today with approximately 34,000 Foster Grandparents, 17,000 Senior Companions and 489,000 RSVP Volunteers.

Extractions: ACB-M Board of Directors I'd like to first wish each of you a very happy new year! With 2004 quickly fading into a distant memory, I have no doubt that 2005 will bring a multitude of new opportunities for each of us individually, as well as for the collective us, also known as ACBM. I know April is a bit off yet, but Coming up in April is elections of officers and directors of ACBM. In this cycle, of elections, we will be electing for the office of President and Treasurer, and 3 Director positions. April marks the end of my first term as your President and the end of the second term of Bob Lockwood as Treasurer. In accordance with our By Laws, there is a two consecutive term limit for all elected positions. Therefore, we will need to be electing a brand new Treasurer. Although I will be running for another term as your President, I strongly encourage everyone to consider running if you feel you would like the opportunity to lead ACBM! I believe the membership should be able to select the person they believe would lead them most effectively and having a selection choice is always better than having no choice!

Extractions: MN AGO Home Charities Office Resources ... Utilities June 2002 Solicitations for Senior Benefits Information and Programs S enior citizens often face tough decisions about purchasing prescription drugs and other health related merchandise. Unfortunately, some companies are taking advantage of the complex choices facing elderly Minnesotans by selling useless or inaccurate information about the marketplace for health products or services. Consumers should be wary of solicitations asking for money for information about health insurance, prescription drugs, Medicare, Social Security or other "senior benefits." These solicitations sometimes advertise services that are of little use to Minnesota seniors, or they provide information on government grants and programs available free of charge through government agencies. The following are examples of such solicitations: One mailing to a Minnesota senior mentioned a nonexistent "new law" in Congress that supposedly allows seniors to order their prescriptions directly from Canada; A mailing to a northeastern Minnesota senior promoted the sale of an informational book that allegedly contains information to help senior citizens access free benefits and other financial assistance from the federal government;

Extractions: calling for 'Tums Down' consumer boycott ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 20, 2003 Responding to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) ban on its drugs being sold by Canadian pharmacies to American customers, the Minnesota Senior Federation is providing leadership to a multi- state boycott of Glaxo's over the counter products called the "Tums Down" Campaign. Safety or Greed? While Glaxo says it is taking this step for reasons of patient safety, the Minnesota Senior Federation and other consumer organizations believe that the drug company is really concerned about the safety of its sales and profits. "The idea that shipping drugs north to Canada is safe while shipping drugs south to the U.S. is dangerous is ludicrous," said Barbara Kaufman, President of the Minnesota Senior Federation - Metro Region.

Extractions: 8:10 a.m. Resume, State/Federal Coordination Leslie Norwalk, CMS The committee and Ms. Norwalk discussed deeming as a way to simplify certification, the types of surveys done on providers, the Medicare benefit package, end-of-life care, and drug formularies. Panel Discussion Richard Bringewatt, National Chronic Care Consortium Mr. Bringewatt, the president and CEO, said that short-term ideas to remove burden should set the foundation for long-term structural reform that improves care. Health care in the U.S. is organized around acute episodes, with various types of providers in their "silos" making independent decisions. The system should better serve people with chronic conditions, recognizing the interdependence of public health, primary care, acute care, and long-term care. Currently, acute care is favored: providers have disincentives to serve chronically ill, high-risk beneficiaries, and acute care is easier for many providers to finance. New structures are needed that allow segments of the health care system to collaborate. Dr. Mark Meiners, University of Maryland Center on Aging
