President Biden Lists Eldercare and Childcare Alongside Roads and Bridges, as Crucial to the Nation’s Infrastructure
|
President Joe Biden launched weekly conversations with Americans to learn about what people across the country in different situations are facing, and to discuss how upcoming legislation could affect their lives. This week, the topic of the video released by the White House was caregiving.
The video featured Susie, a caregiver from Texas. Susie describes how she began working as a nursing home caregiver before transitioning to in-home caregiving. She shares her experience during the pandemic. She said, “(w)hen the pandemic hit, my hours were cut. So was my pay. Caregivers do not have the luxury or privilege of working remotely. I feel people undervalue caregivers in our
society.”
President Biden responded, saying he understood her challenges on a personal level. He said, “I understand that. My mom got sick. We got hospice and help. What that made me realize was, ‘How about those people that don’t have family?’”
