Citizens can expect proposals for changes in care financing, caregiver support, and access to home-based services, potentially impacting their finances and quality of life in old age.
Key points
A Commission on Long-Term Care will be established to advise Congress and the President on issues related to care for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
The Commission will develop solutions for financing long-term care for low- and middle-income individuals, supporting family caregivers (e.g., tax credits), and increasing access to home-based care.
Recommendations will also cover integrating community services, reducing hospitalization costs, and ensuring comprehensive care, including palliative care.
