Kamala Harris to Announce Medicare Expansion for Home Care and Caregivers on 'The View'

Oct 8, 2024, 12:33 PM

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris will announce a major policy proposal on ABC's 'The View' today. The initiative aims to expand Medicare coverage to include long-term home care for seniors and people with disabilities, addressing the challenges of caregiving for both children and aging parents. This policy is designed to assist millions of seniors and their family caregivers. Harris's plan is politically popular but will likely require support from a divided Congress. This announcement marks her first live interview since becoming the presidential nominee.
