Seeking to expand home health access with $400 billion Spending aims to cut down waiting lists, help low-wage workers March 31, 2021 3:08 PM By Alex Ruoff President Joe Biden’s call to spend $400 billion to expand home and community-based care is raising advocates’ hopes that Congress may finally address long-standing challenges the industry, the elderly and people with disabilities face.
