Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives with a $102.5 million Caregiver Initiative adding $52.5 million in funding to Department of Health and Human Services caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services. The administration says the extra funding will allow nearly 200,000 additional caregivers to be served and 3 million more hours of respite care to be provided. It also adds $50 million to programs that provide transportation help, adult day care, and in-home services, such as aides to help seniors bathe and cook, help which eases the burden for family members and helps seniors stay in their homes.

Tricare for Life (retired over 65 retired Military health ins is getting a BIG NEW fee DOD bill, This option would help reduce the cost of TFL, as well as cost for Medicare, by INTRODUCING minimum out of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would NOT cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee's cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.

Back in July 2009, PoltiFact did a story about Obama's claim that 14,000 people lose health insurance everyday. The found the methodology used in determining that number and view it credible:
Holahan and his co-author, using a baseline of 4.6 percent unemployment in 2007, calculated that 2.6 million people would lose coverage if the unemployment rate climbed to 7 percent; 3.7 million if it went to to 8 percent; 4.8 million at 9 percent; and 5.8 million at 10 percent. The estimates took into account people who lost their jobs but then switched to a spouses plan or extended their coverage through COBRA, the federal law that guarantees people who lose their job can still get continued health coverage.
Applying Holahan's calculations to the actual rise in unemployment from November 2008 to June 2009, we came up with 3.2 million people losing health coverage, or an average of 15,238 per day, so it is close to the 14,000 Obama cited.
Democrats should be more focused on fixing the economy and helping business create jobs so that more people can have health care.
I’d be willing to pay higher taxes for a defined period of years as a necessary evil while the President shrunk entitlement programs and simplified the tax code.
