So disabled people and aging adults who, as we've already discussed, historically have not been part of policy conversations or sometimes part of society as a whole, you have a very underpaid workforce. And then you have over 105 million people who are providing some type of care.

So that's over 40% of the country that's providing some type of care because of the lack of government systems to do so. And that comes at a great financial cost. Per the National Partnership on Women and Families, $1 trillion of unpaid care is provided to the economy because of the lack of systems in place. That's impacting young people.

That's impacting disabled people who are also acting as caregivers. And that's also, you've kind of been hearing more in this, especially during the presidential campaign about sandwich generation caregivers. Oftentimes you're thinking about parent of a young child and Maybe somebody who's also helping to care for their older adults, but it takes on a lot more different looks.

It can look like me who is caring for a brother, an adult brother with disabilities and my aging grandparents. The longer the lifespan, the more sandwich generation caregivers that there are.
