2026年即将对《医疗保健计划》进行修改,增加了成本,并给全国的护理人员增加了负担。 Upcoming Medicare changes for 2026 increase costs and strain caregivers nationwide.

由于2026年即将对《医疗保健计划》进行修改,全国护理人员面临更大的财政和情感压力,这扩大了覆盖面差距并增加了自付费用。 Caregivers nationwide are facing increased financial and emotional strain due to upcoming Medicare changes for 2026, which expand coverage gaps and raise out-of-pocket costs. 许多人,如爱达荷的卡拉·罗曼尼亚诺(Carla Romagnano)每年平均花费收入的7 242美元(26%)用于老年人护理, Many, like Idaho’s Carla Romagnano, are spending an average of $7,242 annually—26% of their income—on elder care, often depleting savings as long-term care insurance runs out. 变化包括扣除额增加、交通和膳食报销等福利减少,以及医疗设备新的事先授权。 Changes include higher deductibles, reduced benefits like transportation and meal reimbursements, and new prior authorizations for medical devices. 联邦培训因裁员和政府停业中断而中断,使得入学率复杂化,特别是对于平衡照顾儿童和老年父母的“桑地人一代”而言。 Federal training disruptions from layoffs and a government shutdown have complicated enrollment, especially for the “sandwich generation” balancing care for children and aging parents. 倡导者正在推动联邦支助,例如拟议的《护理信贷法》,提供5 000美元的税收抵免,而社区资源仍然至关重要,但不足以满足许多正在经历复杂和不断演变的制度的家庭的需求。 Advocates are pushing for federal support, such as the proposed Credit for Caring Act offering a $5,000 tax credit, while community resources remain vital but insufficient for many families navigating a complex and evolving system.
