Kamala Harris proposed a new campaign policy Tuesday to help seniors “age in place,” a popular concept allowing older Americans to receive care at home through Medicare.
The vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, speaking on ABC talk show “The View,” said the proposal would allow families to keep their loved ones at home, rather than in nursing facilities, and avoid the associated costs of in-facility care.
The proposal would cover home health aides, among other services, and provide relief to family members who juggle their careers and caregiving responsibilities.
