Biden's New Plan

For America's Elderly

Biden's plan would expand access to home care and long-term care, and provide new tax breaks for families caring for elderly loved ones.

President Biden unveiled a sweeping new plan on Thursday to expand access to home care and long-term care for America's elderly. The plan would also provide new tax breaks for families caring for elderly loved ones.

"Our seniors have worked hard their entire lives, and they deserve to live with dignity and respect," Biden said in a speech announcing the plan. "This plan will help ensure that they can get the care they need, when they need it, and where they want it."

The plan would create a new $400 billion program to provide home care and long-term care services to seniors and people with disabilities. The program would be funded through a combination of new taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations, and cuts to other government programs.

The plan would also provide new tax breaks for families caring for elderly loved ones. The tax breaks would include a new credit for families that provide care to a senior or disabled person, and a new deduction for expenses related to caring for a senior or disabled person.

"This plan is a down payment on our promise to our seniors," Biden said. "It's a down payment on our promise to build a more just and equitable society for all Americans."
