Please think about this when you vote. Home care is essential for those who want to spend their retirement years at home. Currently, the businesses that support the system are seeing their income decrease due to repeated cuts in nursing care compensation from the government, and their expenses increase due to wage increases for helpers. Even without this, the chronic labor shortage has not been resolved, and bankruptcies and closures are occurring one after another. Already, 97 municipalities nationwide do not have a single facility in their area, and 269 municipalities have only one facility. The system is now on the brink. It is the government's policies that are pushing it forward. Both the Liberal Democratic Party (even during the Abe administration) and the Komeito Party have made it a campaign promise to increase the proportion of public funds in nursing care insurance, but after the election is over, they turn a blind eye. They are promoting a reversal. It is not just the elderly who are in trouble. Caregivers leaving work and young carers are also hot topics, but what should we do if working-age family members are asked to take on the responsibility of caregiving? We will thoroughly discuss the reality and background of the policies that have been forced through to drive the nursing care insurance system to collapse, and also announce the results of a survey as a trump card to help you decide which way to vote in the upcoming election. ★Related LinksWomen's Action Network [Nursing Care Insurance Wasn't Supposed to Be This Way ~ Public Questions to Political Parties #2024 Lower House Election] https://wan.or.jp/article/show/11539 Recorded on October 15, 2024...
