Kamala Harris Proposes Major Medicare Expansion for Home Care

The plan aims to provide in-home care for seniors and disabled individuals, but faces skepticism over feasibility and funding.

Kamala Harris announced a proposal to expand Medicare to cover in-home care for seniors and people with disabilities, potentially benefiting 14.7 million beneficiaries.
The plan is estimated to cost $40 billion annually, drawing criticism for its funding strategy, which relies on Medicare drug-price controls.
Supporters argue the expansion could alleviate financial burdens on families and prevent expensive institutional care, though specifics on implementation remain vague.
Critics question the proposal's viability, citing Medicare's existing financial challenges and the need for legislative approval to enact such changes.
The proposal has sparked significant public interest, highlighting the widespread need for affordable home care solutions, yet it has received limited political and media attention.
