LindaGs, just marked your answer helpful. I meant to address my comments to MichiganHopeful. by the way, the news below makes me very hopeful about Michigan also.
President Barack Obama, fresh off a Democratic National Convention in which the turnaround of Michigan's signature auto industry played a central role, heads into the final two months of the campaign with the state's voters solidly behind him.
A poll done by EPIC-MRA of Lansing for the Free Press, WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) and other media partners showed Obama with a commanding 10-percentage-point lead over Michigan-born-and-raised Mitt Romney, whose chances in the state may have been seriously hurt by last week's Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C.
2much2cover: The question is "What is Obama going to do for caregivers" and I neither hear nor see of anything he is putting out there specific to helping caregivers. If you know of something, please give me your source so that I may check it out. Sorry, you are mistaken; I do NOT support Barack Obama and yes, I live in Michigan. What you are hearing from the media must be total Obama hype. I've been very involved in discussions with Michigan residents regarding their opionion of what help we can expect from Obama and it is a resounding "NONE". Remember, not everyone in Michigan is involved in the auto industry. Believing polls is your choice, but for me its what the real people on the street say that speaks to me. This state has suffered from too many broken Obama 2008 campaign promises but we have a new Republican governor and we are seeing a turn around in our state. Honestly, not one person who didn't work in the auto industry I spoke with said they would vote for Obama even though many did in 2008. I really have no more to say on the subject. Thank you for your comment.
He already helped caregivers with the affordable care act (not everyone is old enough to have Medicare) and now those not on Medicare can also get health insurance (a great relief for any caregivers worried about not only day to day caregiving but also paying the bills) and by protecting Medicaid (which is often a more important source of help for caregivers than Medicare) he is keeping people like my family member at home by ensuring nursing home diversion funding is available to keep seniors and disabled in their communities, not in often neglectful and costly nursing homes. Here's an article you asked for.
He also attempted to enact affordable long term care insurance. And maybe not popular with people who want businesses unregulated to do whatever they want, he got new minimum wage and overtime protection for those who work as in home caregivers. This should be important to any caregiver with an aide coming to their home. Don't you want them paid a fair wage and able to get health insurance for themselves? Or do you want them having to work around the clock and while sick around your family member in order to support themsleves. I think it is outrageous (and I'd like any home health care agencies to explain this to me) how they can charge a client 16 per hour and pay the aid 10 per hour, day after day, week after week and not provide any health care benefits, no vacation time, tell them they have to buy their own gloves, they don't get mileage or pay for time traveling between jobs. They are considered independent workers and have to save to make sure they have enough at tax time to pay their taxes b/c the agency doesn't collect govt deductions. They have no unions, they are at the mercy of the "free enterprise system" that the triple Rs promote. and i can see why. The business owner is taking in 6 every hour and providing nothing, except initial placement and screening. Is this really the American way?
MichiganHopeful, if you are still around reading this. It is quite clear you are not for Obama, but even if the posted question is What is Obama going to do for caregivers?, and you are having "discussions", why are you giving Romney and Ryan free passes and not asking what they have done in all their years in publc office or will do for caregivers? That doesn't sound like an educated voter to me.
