Clinton has mentioned a growing “caregiver crisis” at a number of events across the country, arguing that with Baby Boomers growing older, it will be important for the government to be more proactive in addressing caregiving issues.
In an interview with Yahoo News’ Katie Couric, Sanders questioned Clinton’s invoking of the September 11 attacks during the debate to address concerns she is too close to Wall Street. He can not afford a full-time caretaker.
Clinton is also proposing a change in Social Security to allow caregivers who drop out of the workforce to raise children or care for elderly parents a credit toward their retirement benefits, and $100 million in grants to fund respite care programs to allow family caregivers to take time off from caring for relatives of any age.
“We are the only people that they see”. “When I leave and they give you a smile, that is all I need”.
“I would hope every candidate would join me in saying finally, finally, health care must be a right for all people”, Sanders said in a not-so-thinly veiled jab at Clinton. Somebody who is really doing it because of your heart.
As part of an ongoing rollout of measures aimed at bolstering the middle class, Clinton also has previously proposed tax credits for college costs and large out-of-pocket medical expenses. “For a long time, watching the national news, I’m sure you thought you only had two choices”.
