Most elders prefer to live at home. We must help them and their families preserve that choice. Adequate reimbursement must be available for visiting nurses and home health aides. I support the Clinton-Gore proposal for tax credits for those caring for elderly or disabled family members. The time has come for long term care insurance.
Medical science promises most people a good quality of life for decades after retirement.
We must make that promise a reality. I support, in principle, the extension of these rights to individuals enrolled in employer-sponsored plans. We must be realistic, however, about an employer's willingness to provide health insurance. All rights reserved. AARP Webplace Privacy Policy .
