Biden signs executive order to reduce caregiver costs and strengthen care economy.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order to advance affordable caregiving and support workers, including more than 50 directives to Cabinet-level agencies to take steps toward fixing the nation’s child care and long-term care system. The order aims to improve transparency and access for home care services, including for veterans, while boosting industry standards and expanding areas of federal coverage. It also seeks to make child care cheaper. Biden has pressed for more affordable child care solutions since he took office and, before that, on the campaign trail.
