Hillary Clinton makes campaign stop in Clinton Sunday
“As president, I will propose a tax credit to help family members offset up to $6,000 in caregiving costs for their elderly family members”, Clinton said. She also proposed expanding Social Security to reward those who take time out of their careers to act as caregivers for relatives.
“She will call for the creation of a new tax credit for middle-class families who care for ailing parents and grandparents”, the aide said about Clinton’s event in Clinton, Iowa. In an identical town hall in New Hampshire in Jul., Clinton described what she referred to as a “care-giving crisis” & stated authorities programs need to do more to assist. This summer, Clinton hosted a roundtable with home health-care workers represented by the Service Employees worldwide Union, promising to focus on the often overlooked vocation.
Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Saturday she is willing to split apart big financial institutions if the need arises.
Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton was in Clinton, Iowa, Sunday.
Today, SEIU President Mary Kay Henry released the following statement in support of Hillary Clinton’s plan to address the care economy vital for America’s seniors and people with disabilities. Under legislation he previously introduced, his campaign acknowledges that taxes would increase on the middle class, but his aides argue that the overall cost of health care to would be lower because people would no longer pay premiums or deductibles.
According to the former secretary of state, the plan would cost about $10 billion over a period of 10 years.
The proposal is part of a series of tax proposals that Clinton plans to roll out in the coming weeks.
“Dismissing the yearning of millions of Americans for a more humane healthcare system not based on ability to pay, and relying on a disputed data is disgraceful”, said Ross.
While this problem isn’t necessarily setting the political world on fire in a race where name calling and fear mongering has taken center stage-the rising number of elderly Americans and how to pay for their care, is a very real, looming economic issue. But Elizabeth Jones and her husband, Robert, drove through the dark weekend evening to see Bernie Sanders at the SC State University auditorium.
His critique might be dismissed as the prattling of an inconsequential figure who gets attention only because he is the only person standing between her and a coronation for the presidential nomination. Clinton first implicitly accused the Vermont senator of sexism when she stated “I’ve been told to, and I quote, “stop shouting” about gun violence”.
Joe Kefauver, managing partner of Align Public Strategies, a public affairs firm, said the SEIU’s endorsement is important to Clinton’s campaign.
