The long-term care system in America is broken. Millions of seniors and people with disabilities are forced to drain their savings or break apart their families just to afford care, with many winding up in profit-driven corporate nursing homes. The costs of this outdated, cruel system are devastating. But Kamala Harris has a plan to change all of that.

Harris’ Medicare at Home plan would be a game-changer. For the first time, Medicare would cover home-based long-term care, giving seniors and people with disabilities the ability to receive care in their own homes.

This would ensure they maintain their dignity and independence, all while receiving the quality care they deserve. Harris' is also calling for additional hearing and vision benefits, long overdue enhancements that will finally address critical gaps in Medicare coverage.

But here’s the catch: Big Pharma and corporate interests will fight tooth and nail to block this plan. They’ve profited from America’s broken healthcare system for decades, and they’re not going to give up their grip easily.

We need to show massive public support to help turn Kamala Harris’ Medicare at Home plan into reality.

Americans shouldn’t have to go bankrupt to get the care they need. The current system forces people to spend their life savings and lose their homes just to qualify for Medicaid coverage.

And even then, many end up in facilities that prioritize profit over patient care. Harris’s plan would give people the freedom to receive care in their own homes without having to sacrifice everything they’ve worked for.

This isn’t just a step forward, it’s a fundamental shift in how we care for seniors and people with disabilities in this country. It would fulfill Medicare’s promise of providing comprehensive health care for all, regardless of income or where they live.

The time to act is now. Big Pharma will spend millions to lobby against this expansion, but we can fight back with the power of the people.

Sign on in support of Kamala Harris’ Medicare at Home to help build a healthcare system that truly puts people first.

Together, we can make home-based care a reality for millions of families.
