@jason_r_DC of @NA4Caregiving joined @AllianceAging podcast on supporting family caregivers navigating Alzheimer's + related diseases. Caregiving is not a problem to be solved. It is a fundamental part of life. The goal is to make it sustainable. Listen: bit.ly/4tmePy3

Insurers have sharply retreated from some Medicare Advantage plans, saying rising health care costs and reduced government reimbursements have hurt profitability — and sparking a scramble for many elderly patients to find coverage, @PostRowland reports. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/03…

Too many NICU parents find themselves forced to make impossible choices to avoid losing their income or job when their baby is in the hospital. Families going through this stressful time deserve support – we're fighting for the policies they need: abetterbalance.org/leave-for-nicu…

Health insurance regulations should prioritize patients. New campaign from @4qualitycare exposes how loopholes increase costs and reduce transparency.

We joined @DadsCaucus on Capitol Hill for the first-ever National Caregiving Summit on the Caregiving Crisis. Our solutions: Make HCBS a mandatory Medicaid benefit, strengthen Medicare support, and fund #OAA. Families can't wait. Take Action ➡️ caregiving.org/policy-agenda/

63 million Americans provide family caregiving, not as a profession, but out of love and responsibility for their families.    They shouldn’t have to do it alone. It’s time to build a system that supports caregivers the way they support the people they love.

Breaking: Virginia just became the first Southern state to pass paid leave! Both paid family and medical leave and paid sick time legislation are now headed to the Governor's desk. This is a huge win for VA families and the national paid leave movement. 🎉👏

Today Virginia passed paid family and medical leave—a huge, historic win.  This happened before and both times Youngkin vetoed it, against the will of the state. Governor @SpanbergerForVA, and legislators and advocates who wouldn't give up, will now get it done. #PaidLeaveForAll

She put very fine point on it…Women driving for more than an hour to a hospital WHILE IN LABOR. Unreal.

Our #AgingPolicyBriefing attendees are in for a powerful session. 👏 .@jason_r_DC, CEO of the @NA4Caregiving, will share New Caregiving Insights—including fresh data and policy trends shaping the future of #caregiving.

“It’s like being thrown into a job you didn't apply for with no training, no pay, no support, and no days off,” says one cancer caregiver. @NA4Caregiving & @CancerCare NEW report shares what caregivers told us and where the system is falling short. Read: bit.ly/4aKD6X0

This #NationalCaregiversDay, we honor the 63M+ #familycaregivers caring for family members around the clock. Most are unpaid. Many face financial strain. Their health often suffers. Yet they keep showing up. Explore the full Caregiving in the US report: caregivingintheus.org

There are lots of juicy findings in Capita's new report that I co-authored with @IvanaDGreco, "The False Divide Between 'Working' and 'Stay-at-Home' Parents." One that I think is especially relevant is the fact that voters of all political persuasions told us they would be MUCH more likely to back child care legislation and candidates' proposals -- and almost no one's backing would go down -- if they actively support stay-at-home parents *alongside* (not instead of!) high-quality, affordable licensed care options. An inclusive approach to family policy isn't only the correct move on the merits, it's a political no-brainer -- and now we can prove it. Read more about this finding and other conclusions in the full report, linked in next tweet!

The truth about immigration

In many ways, Savannah Guthrie's story reads like a Hollywood script -- it's unfathomable to the average American. But anyone who's experienced the struggles of caring for an aging parent from afar can relate, on some level. usatoday.com/story/life/hea… via @USATODAY

Deep appreciation to @ShannonNajma who used her time at the @washingtonpost to pull back the curtain on our national care crisis. It's a shame that The Post is pulling back on an issue that touches millions of Americans, 130+ million to be exact. Not smart. washingtonpost.com/health/2025/12… #CareCantWait

Other headlines have overtaken it, but out-of-pocket premiums have more than doubled for ACA enrollees with the enhanced subsidies expired. Many are still deciding whether they can afford the higher payments and keep their plans.
