Recent policies under the Trump administration are raising alarms about the future of the U.S. health and long-term care sectors. As stricter immigration measures potentially lead to mass deportations, many experts warn of a significant reduction in the workforce vital for caregiving roles, particularly in home-based care and senior living facilities. With a heavy reliance on immigrant workers, families may face profound disruptions in childcare and eldercare services. Leaders in the industry are advocating for urgent action to prevent severe shortages that could arise if current immigration policies continue to unfurl. The convergence of immigration crackdowns and looming Medicaid cuts presents a dual threat to these essential services, which millions of families depend on.
