Today, President Biden Signed an executive order to expand access to affordable, high-quality care and provide support for care workers and family caregivers. This executive order, which includes more than 50 directives for agencies across the government, is the most comprehensive set of executive actions any President has ever taken to make care more affordable and accessible for hardworking families and further support care workers and family caregivers.
The President believes investing in care is an investment in the future of America’s families, workforce, and economy. That is why President Biden’s economic agenda aims to build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out by transforming care in this country.
