Why caregiving is essential to the future of healthcare and financial inclusion | Givers
Summary
Today, the Givers team is thrilled to announce the launch of our platform for caregiving savings and support, in conjunction with our $3.5M seed round. Caregiving impacts key concerns in our economy: financial equity, participation in the workforce, and healthcare access, costs, and outcomes. Some reimbursement opportunities exist, but theyre often obscured within the fine print of insurance plans and tax clauses, which can be dense and clunky to navigate. For the many millions who dont qualify for medicaid, theyre in a constant bind, working unpaid caregiving hours while balancing a job and investing significant personal time and moneyan average of nearly $8,000 per year. Everyone is likely to eventually care for a loved one, and now is the time to build a system for compensating and supporting family caregivers as an integral part of our healthcare system.To learn more about Givers or get involved with our mission, sign up today or feel free to send me a note directly: max@joingivers.com.
