Probably a long shot, but would be so helpful for many. [/quote]

Look, I'm voting for Harris, but I'm getting really tired of the pandering by both candidates.

Medicare ALREADY COVERS in-home care. There are criteria to meet, but it already covers it.

Or is this about nursing homes? Medicare already covers medical services in nursing homes. And Medicaid covers the nursing homes themselves. If the supposition is that you shouldn't have to spend down everything to qualify for Medicaid, that would no doubt be popular, but I'd have a huge problem with it from a policy perspective.

But, to repeat: Medicare already covers in-home care. So, what's the proposed change?[/quote]

Medicare does not cover long term 24-7 care.  It only covers care in very limited situations for short term rehab.

Medicaid also does not cover long-term care.  It is a separate waiver programs.  Before you lecture people, know what you are talking about.[/quote]

Someone who needs 24/7 care doesn’t need to be at home, idiot [/quote]
