Post Discussion: Caregivers and Policy

In a study by Dr. Sandra Levitsky, she considers why the economic, physical, and emotional challenges of providing chronic care for a family member have not produced more salient political demands for aggressive policy intervention (Hudson, 2014).

Discuss her findings as well as your own theory on why there has not been a stronger demand from the public for policy intervention to assist caregivers.

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
