Kamala Harris will propose expanding Medicare to cover the cost of long-term care at home.

Such a plan could mean the option of staying at home, rather than in a nursing facility.

It could also mean physical and financial relief and new opportunities for work outside the home.

Harris will make her announcement during an appearance on “The View ”.

Sen. Harris has a long record of proposing initiatives to help families with the expense of caring for loved ones who need assistance.

She has spoken frequently of what it was like taking care of her mother in her last years of life, following a cancer diagnosis.

A new proposal would have essentially taken the existing Medicaid program and made it bigger.
