Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that she intends for Medicare to pay for long-term, in-home health care for a broader group of seniors, something she says the program will pay for through negotiating lower drug prices.
Harris described the outline of her proposal on ABC's "The View," saying the proposal will particularly help people in the so-called "sandwich" generation — those simultaneously caring for children and aging parents.
"Basically what we will do is allow Medicare to cover in-home health care," the Democratic nominee for president said.
