Vice President Kamala Harris unveils " Medicare at Home" plan to cover the costs of in-home care for many seniors.

About a quarter of U.S. adults are part of the sandwich generation of those taking care of children and aging parents.

A September AARP poll showed 78% of women who are over 50 years old and care for older family members say they've been struggling financially.

All Medicare enrollees deemed to be "unable to independently perform activities of daily living" would be eligible.

People with "serious cognitive impairment" would also be covered.

Not everyone would get all their costs paid for by Medicare .

Seniors with higher incomes would have to pay a larger share of the cost out of their own pockets.
