🚨 NEW: 1 in 4 American adults (63 million) are now family caregivers—20 million MORE than 2015. Our 2025 report with @AARP shows caregiving is more demanding but systems are finally responding. Progress is happening, just not fast enough.

Nearly 1/2 of states are on the brink of a caregiving crisis yet policymakers from those very states are about to vote to gut #Medicaid to give massive tax breaks to the ultra rich... who are these people serving?

Bread crumbs that would still leave millions without access to healthcare... #Medicaid

When your aging parent needs medication, you don't "get over it." When your disabled child needs an aid, you don't "get over it." When you're choosing between rent and medical bills, you don't "get over it" ... we don't get over our need for care. #CareCantWait #ProtectMedicaid

I teamed up with @govmlg.bsky.social to spotlight the vital role #Medicaid plays in supporting family caregivers. We urge the senate to reject deep cuts to the program. Check out our piece in @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/heal... #ProtectMedicaid #CareCantWait #CaregiverNation

Especially on hard days like today, when Congress inches closer to dismantling #Medicaid, it's important to celebrate those who've shown us how to persevere. Happy 95th birthday to my hero Dolores Huerta! Her warmth, humility, & fierce commitment will always inspire me to keep going. Se si puede!

With the number of people living w/ dementia expected to double by 2060, cuts to #Medicaid would decimate what little infrastructure we have to support dementia caregivers. My latest for the @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/o... #CareCantWait #CaregiverNation #Dementia

In a moving tribute to Jimmy Carter, his grandson Jason Carter said simply: "He has gone, but he hasn't gone far." These words remind us that our greatest works and deeds live on beyond us.

Great news: #CFPB finalizes rule to ban medical debt from credit reporting. This change will help families - including family caregivers - build credit and achieve long-term financial stability. Read more here: www.caregiving.org/national-all...
