Rather than stay home trying to cool off with little to no air conditioning, seniors age 60 and older are finding an oasis from the heat at the city’s 11 senior centers.

SAN ANTONIO – Judging by the heavy early voting turnout, AARP Texas is expecting even more older voters to cast their ballots than they did in 2016. “We think it’s going to be just as high or even higher this time,” said John Vasquez, who serves on the AARP State Executive Committee. The Affordable Care Act is being challenged in the U.S. Supreme Court, and if it’s overturned, Vasquez said older voters could face higher medical costs and the loss of coverage due to pre-existing conditions. Vasquez said AARP Texas has a “robust website” with helpful information for older voters about the election process, as well as a series of Facebook interviews about propositions on the November ballot.
