Proposed Medicare Coverage for Long-Term Care

Kamala Harris has proposed expanding Medicare to cover long-term at-home care, addressing the challenges faced by millions of Americans caring for aging parents. Current Medicare policies limit this coverage, forcing many families to resort to costly nursing homes. During a recent appearance, Harris highlighted the difficulties of balancing caregiving responsibilities with employment, which often leads to job loss for many caretakers. Although this plan may gain traction among elderly and working-class voters, it faces significant opposition from Republicans concerned about the financial implications of such reforms.
