Harris' "Medicare at Home" plan sparks an intriguing debate. My latest in Deseret News. Is the future of elder care hiding in plain sight? 🤔 The care crisis looms large: • 10,000 Americans turn 65 daily • Over-85 population doubling by 2040 • "Sandwich generation" stretched thin 💔 Harris' plan is a step forward, but is it enough? We need to reimagine caregiving for the 21st century 🚀 • Embrace tech-enabled solutions like CareYaya • Tap into a broader caregiver pool (students, retirees, neighbors) • Compensate family caregivers for the hard, unpaid work they do Rethink regulations to foster innovation while maintaining quality 💰 Create economic opportunities in care, especially in de-industrialized areas Empower more seniors to age with dignity at home Let's create a care revolution that serves all Americans. What bold ideas do you have to transform elder care? How can we build a more flexible, accessible, and compassionate care system?

Helpful information. TLDR: blink more! 👀 Interesting series from The Washington Post. The most helpful point is at the end: "Humans normally blink about 15 times a minute, but when we're using screens, that rate drops to about six times -- a more than 50% decrease." Blink more! Or take frequent breaks looking away from screens! 🌟
