John — The U.S. Energy and Commerce Committee is currently drafting a critical piece of the budget reconciliation bill. If we want to ensure care isn’t cut, Committee Chairman Rep. Frank Pallone needs to hear from all of us TODAY.
We need Congress to deliver a reconciliation bill with a $400 billion investment in home and community-based services (HCBS).
This much-needed, long-overdue investment will create more quality care options so family caregivers can return to the workforce knowing that their loved ones are in good hands and will strengthen our care infrastructure by:
- creating an estimated 1.1 million new jobs each year over the next decade,
- including nearly 800,000 care jobs, and
- ensuring a true, equitable economic recovery for all.
The investment would raise wages for care workers — most of whom are women of color — to ensure they’re able to build financial security for themselves and their families.
Making a call takes two minutes but has a HUGE impact. When you call, introduce yourself. Then, say:
"I am calling to urge Rep. Pallone to support the $400 billion investment in home and community-based services in the budget reconciliation bill. Everyone who needs care should be able to get it, and home care workers need higher wages.”
Take action TODAY and urge Rep. Pallone to deliver a reconciliation package with a $400 billion investment in HCBS.
Thanks for all that you do,
