People need money. Being a caregiver is financially devastating because those who need the care often exceed their means, and society expects caregivers to pick up the tab. We've emphasized quantity of life over quality of life; that diminished quality of life often comes not only in the form of physical and emotional suffering, but also impoverishment.
And in the US, caregiving about to get even more financially devastating as the ACA is either repealed or gutted.
Harris said she would fund caregiving, I think through Medicare.
