It's about subsidizing in-home care for folks not quite poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, with a sliding scale of support based on income. As proposed it's estimated to cost $40B/yr.
Harris says she can fund it through expanding Medicare drug price negotiation.
What say you?
Would you it not do this at all, or is there some other spending you would cut to fund something like this?

This was addressed elsewhere. The projections on total cost looks to be way too low, and I wouldn’t trust that administration to negotiate a discount even with a coupon on double coupon day at Kohl’s.
