The Foster Homes Bill
Foster homes get vaccine limits, seniors get drug help
Relative to immunization requirements in foster family homes and relative to financial eligibility for the Medicare savings program.
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would keep vaccine rules for people in foster homes the same as state rules and let low‑income seniors qualify for a Medicare drug‑cost program.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, foster families won’t be forced to ask for more shots than state law requires, protecting families’ choices. Low‑income seniors could get help paying for prescriptions, easing their bills.
