What A President Harris Would Mean For Seniors

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is working hard to win the support of older voters, but what would she do to address their many concerns if she is elected president?

In a campaign that has not yet shown many of its policy cards, Harris has offered only the roughest sketch of a governing agenda. But her time as vice president and senator provides some important clues. Among the issues she has addressed in some fashion: Paid family leave, more aggressively lowering the cost of Medicare drugs, unspecified Social Security reforms, tougher nursing home regulation, more funding for Medicaid home and community-based long-term care, and better pay for direct care workers.
