If a caregiver is providing care, allow them to have a tax credit, for the sheer savings to the tax
paying public of not having medicaid bear the costs of giving care. In the past 5 years, as a
caregiver, I have saved taxpayers thousands and thousands of dollars by providing care to an
elderly family member, versus relying on the government to care for the individual. Give credit
where credit is due.

Concerns for people with disabilities who becomeparents (/a/dtd/Concerns-for-people-with-disabilities-who-become-parents/707161-34562)
The National Council on Disability 2012 report, "Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of
Parents with Disabilities," identified numerous knowledge gaps. How many people with different
types of disabilities are attempting to raise children? How many of them are involved with child
welfare systems? What kinds of supports are available to them ( and where)? What are their
outcomes? This field is wide open, and the ...more (/a/dtd/Concerns-for-people-with-

Database of backup caregivers (/a/dtd/Database-of-backup-caregivers/707696-34562)
The most important thing for caregivers, and the family members we/they care for, is an
occasional break so we can have social interaction outside the home. To take a break we need
backup assistance from time-to-time that we can count on. Independent Living Centers (CILs?)
have provided no assistance in this regard. Shouldn't that be one of their core functions? What do
CILs do--just advocacy? At any rate, we need ...more (/a/dtd/Database-of-backup-

Caregiving and the Workplace (/a/dtd/Caregiving-and-the-Workplace/707827-34562)
Caregiving results in an overall cost to business of $33.6 billion per year due to absenteeism,
supervisory time, unpaid leave, and reduced hours. Family caregiving is also estimated to add
another $13.4 billion or an 8% differential to healthcare business costs. How do we convince
companies to provide resources to help their employees manage their jobs and their caregiving
responsibilities?

Planning for Financing of Long-Term Services toSupport Caregive (/a/dtd/Planning-for-Financing-of-Long-Term-Services-to-Support-Caregive/708115-34562)
For many families, caregiving can have a negative financial impact. Some of this is unavoidable,
but some can be ameliorated. People need more information and more options to help finance
supportive services that help both the caregiver and their loved ones.
