Today, AHIP submitted a statement for the House Ways & Means Committee hearing on “Caring for Aging Americans.”
Below are a few key takeaways & recommendations from our statement:
- We need to strengthen and support long-term care coverage choices and implement policy solutions that would improve Americans’ personal control and choice over their long-term-care decisions
- We need to ensure a robust workforce to provide caregiver support to seniors, and address the caregiver shortage
- We also must address the needs of unpaid caregivers
