It's time for leaders, both the newly elected and returning incumbents, to live up to the trust the American people have placed in them.

Family caregiving can come with long-term costs: https://t.co/tVM92EldFf

Medicare open enrollment is happening now, and many people 65+ are seeing higher premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs.

These increases make it harder to afford health care. And that doesn’t even include the cost of dental, hearing, and vision!

The report, The Hidden Cost of Caregiving: Lost Earnings, Retirement Income, and Social Security Income, estimates that the typical working caregiver in this group will lose $120,500 over their lifetime, underscoring the long-term financial consequences of providing unpaid care.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

As a result, they collectively risk losing $2 trillion in pay, $140 billion in workplace retirement income, and $150 billion in future Social Security benefits over their lifetime.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

A new AARP report finds that the financial impact could add up to $2.3 trillion for a generation of caregivers. Americans now in their early-to-mid 40s who provide care for loved ones tend to cut back their work hours to provide unpaid care.
