Christine Villabona-Kuntz joins us to discuss her article in USA Today "I'm one of 48 million unpaid caregivers. Health care collapses without us". Christine is a nurse, and her perspecitve on care changed when she also became the family caregiver to her own mother.
We discuss the crisis facing family caregivers and people in need of care. There are 43 million family caregivers in the United States: a labor force holding together our healthcare system. What do we have in common? Many of us are exhausted, and in need of real supports that allow us to continue this work feasibly. Christine urges legislative advocacy whenever possible.
