Last month, AARP released a report showing that “caregivers for aging relatives and other loved ones have seen their out-of-pocket costs skyrocket [to $1 trillion] over the past five years.” Rising costs that are putting care, whether paid or unpaid, out of reach for most families.

As Dr. Myecia Minter-Jordan, CEO of AARP reminds us, every one of us is either providing care, receiving care, or will need care at some point in their lives. As we look ahead, we cannot lose sight of the fact that families, caregivers, and care workers can’t wait any longer for the government to invest in the care infrastructure that will support ALL of us.
