Caregiver Financial Challenges Highlighted: Representative Pettersen emphasized the importance of supporting caregivers, noting, “This can often have long-term impacts… ensuring caregivers can take care of their own financial health ensures they can keep taking care of their families.” Senators Collins and Warner echoed this sentiment, calling for better retirement opportunities for caregivers.
