LeadingAge national has launched a new campaign asking millennials to speak out on the need for long-term services and supports (LTSS) financing solutions. One in three people age 20-36, providing care for a loved one and potentially delaying life experiences due to the time and financial cost of caregiving, LeadingAge is leading the conversation about what millennials and lawmakers can do to create sustainable and affordable financing solutions. Carry the Conversation: Be the Voice for Long-Term Services and Supports is aimed at supporting millennials in speaking out about this problem and urging them to share their stories. The goal is to create an educated community of advocates to demand action and carry the conversation to the offices of their elected officials. Lawmakers need to take action and find solutions for financing LTSS.
