Thank you. This is a very important issues for families, the economy, and to define the kind of decent society we want to live in.
There are 40 million #familycaregivers who provide hundreds of billions of dollars in uncompensated care each year. Last yr, @SenatorCollins & I passed RAISE #FamilyCaregiversAct to do right by them, so they can continue to do right by their loved ones.

Very important topic...it also impacts younger families as more severely disabled people are living longer and families struggle to care for them once they age out of the school system. My disabled daughter weighs 80 lbs & I do all her cares but won’t be able to lift her forever.

What we really need is better medical (long term care and home health care) coverage for Medicare. AND incentives for people going into these jobs.
