‘Care Credits’
October 30, 2010
Have you heard of the ‘care credit’ system yet, readers? Any thoughts?
I think this idea raises a lot of questions that the Government needs to answer before it can be considered. What will be counted as ‘having enough credit?’ What if someone becomes disabled before they’ve collected enough credit for their own old age? What if someone runs out of credit and still needs care? And what about that most valuable group of people- our unpaid carers- parents, family members, partners? Will they get ‘care credits’ too? If not, who will care for them in their old age, if their only child is disabled, or their non-disabled children are living far away?
