Biden Reintroduces Initiatives to Reduce Caregiving Costs Amid Reelection Campaign

The President seeks to revive key elements of his Build Back Better plan, focusing on affordable child and elder care to boost the U.S. economy.

President Joe Biden is pushing for legislative support to lower the financial burdens of child and elder care as part of his reelection efforts.
Biden's proposals include expanding preschool access, increasing subsidies for child care, and improving pay for caregivers.
Efforts face stiff resistance from Republicans and some Democrats, making legislative progress challenging.
The administration has implemented some measures through executive orders, such as increasing pay for federally funded teachers and reducing child care costs for military families.
Biden emphasizes the economic impact of caregiving, arguing that supporting the 'sandwich generation' can lead to a stronger national economy.
