During recent media appearances, Vice President Kamala Harris proposed a significant expansion of Medicare to include coverage for in-home health care. This initiative, referred to as 'Medicare at Home,' aims to provide essential support for seniors and their caregivers, addressing a critical gap in long-term care services. Advocates have praised the plan, which includes provisions for home care costs, vision, and hearing services, as a means to support the 'sandwich generation'—families balancing care for both children and aging parents. The proposal also seeks to boost wages for care workers, enhancing the overall care economy. Harris emphasized that this plan is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves dignity in their care as they age.
