Join POLITICO virtually on Thursday, December 15, 2022 at 9:00 AM ET to explore how federal action can improve the lives of those giving and receiving family care across America.
Family caregivers are among our most overlooked and under-supported groups. America’s 48 million carers together provide more than $470 billion in unpaid care annually, while individually facing thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses.
The Administration’s new national strategy for supporting family caregivers outlines nearly 350 actions the federal government is committed to taking to support family caregivers. Who will deliver this strategy? How should different stakeholders divide the work? And what are the most urgent priorities for this issue that crosses party lines?
