Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : For example, under a new rule that took effect this year, caregivers can get training from clinical psychologists, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and other health care providers with Medicare picking up the bill for their time.
52% : "So if you need help with infection control or wound care or or other different things like that, Medicare would help pay health care professionals to show you how to do that," she said.
45% : The cost of care could also be covered by Medicaid in some cases but that is not an option for an estimated 400,000 low-income Floridians because state lawmakers have repeatedly refused to expand the program eligibility as allowed under the Affordable Care Act.
