“Home care is a patient-focused, cost-effective, technologically advanced solution that keeps patients out of the hospital and in the comfort of their own homes,” said CHT Founder Newt Gingrich. “While I in no way could support the emerging bill in the House, practical solutions such as the ‘care at home’ amendment offered by Markey and Burgess demonstrate the level of innovation and political cooperation it will take to meet the Alzheimer’s challenge.”
"It was non-controversial and non confrontational. An intergenerational gift from parents to children to moderate the costs of caring for those living with Alzheimer's,” Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-Texas). “The projected costs of dealing with this condition are truly startling, and this amendment challenges us to develop a cost effective and compassionate plan for care."
