Home care workers need skills training, career pathways, and high-quality non-degree credentials, along with higher wages. Read a new article I wrote with Corinne Eldridge at Center for Caregiver Advancement. @skillscoalition #CareWorkersRecognitionMonth . generations.asaging.org/prioritizing-h…

On Tuesday, Sandra and I were part of a webinar hosted by the White House to discuss new rules that transform long-term caregiving and the care economy.

Thank you to the administration for its commitment to improving healthcare for all.

Last year, President Biden's executive order put care at the top of the federal government’s list of priorities. ⏩⏩⏩ This year, we have two new rules that give care workers the respect, protection, staffing and pay we deserve. #CareWeek

Drug companies charge Americans 4x what other wealthy nations pay for the same brand name drugs. Then they take the money we pay them and spend it on lobbying to protect their power. They are the leading spenders in DC.

#CareWeek

April is CareMonth & this week is HHS.gov #CareWeek ! No one better to break down the meaning of care than the workers who show up every day to care for us. Thank you to all the Domestic Workers & care workers who do the work that makes our lives work.

Caregivers, who are mostly women and people of color, deserve great wages and benefits for the indispensable, life-saving work they do.

This Care Worker Recognition Month and every month, we will speak up and out for caregivers. #TheCareEconomy

No one should have to pay $250 a month for life-saving medicine. That’s why we took on Big Pharma and capped the cost of insulin at $35 for Ohioans on Medicare like Mindy.

😡 New reports reveal Eli Lilly and Company spent a whopping $1.73 million in Q1 2024 fighting against Medicare drug negotiations to keep their profits high & leave patients struggling. We can’t let corporate greed outweigh patient need. #LowerDrugPrices accountable.us/new-reports-sh…
