Letter: A law that cares for America’s caregivers

I want to thank Hawaii’s U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz for backing bills supporting the Credit for Caring Act and recognizing the burden on Alzheimer’s caregivers. In 2023, over 11 million unpaid caregivers provided 18.4 billion hours of care, valued at $350 billion. Families bear 70% of dementia care costs. Many cut back on savings, with 40% running out of food before they could afford more.
