That’s the first thought I had when I read about Hillary Clinton’s proposed plan for long-term care.
Politics aside, Clinton is the first presidential candidate to address this important issue outside of an interview or a nursing home visit. And I respect her for doing it. Her plan tackles issues that all of us face, like caring for an aging loved one or preparing for our own care needs, regardless of partisanship. My only hope is that more candidates will follow her lead and develop plans of their own. After all, aren’t politicians known for their making plans? (keeping promises, well that’s for another post…)
