Vice President Kamala Harris is proposing an expansion of Medicare to cover the costs of an in-home aide for many seniors, a direct pitch to the “sandwich generation” of adults caring for aging parents in addition to their own children.
“We increasingly encounter families that want to qualify for Medicaid today that aren’t considered the lowest income, but for whom providing and paying for long-term care is making them low income,” said Kevin Prindiville, executive director of the group Justice in Aging.
