Two years ago, there were proposed solutions from both sides of the aisle.

Dear Senator or Representative,

Healthcare is in crisis. We all know it and it’s getting worse every day. We are way past
stopgap measures like the National Guard troops, federal healthcare workers, Mercy ships
and field hospitals. We cannot staff the hospital beds we have and downstream services
like Nursing homes and home care are far worse off.

The solution is to bring back millions of healthcare workers who have chosen to leave their
profession. Why would any of our largest group of workers, the caregivers, nursing
Assistants and homecare workers, return for low wages, dangerous jobs, long hours and
no hope a solution is on the way?

Two years ago, there were proposed solutions from both sides of the aisle. House Bill 6484
in April 2020 and Sen. Romney’s Patriot Pay proposal ($12 per hours wage add on) made
sense. Today we are in far worse shape and we urge you to combine aspects of those two
ideas today.

Americans need your help NOW, we need our leaders to move us away from Crisis Levels of
Care and believe good care can and will unite us.

Act now by supporting an emergency Executive Order or, even better, pass a bipartisan
Caregiver Act.

We at NAHCA and The Caregiver Project stand ready with research, data and details of a
proposed Caregiver Act
