Caregivers without coverage: The facts about a critical gap in long-term care

Abstract

The first in a series of policy briefs from the Health Care for Health Care Workers campaign, this four-page paper provides basic facts about the health care crisis for direct-care workers. More than one in three of these important health care workers has no health insurance, contributing to the instability of the workforce that undermines the quality of services for consumers. The brief also explains why direct-care workers lack access to health insurance and offers initial solutions for expanding coverage.
